Yes.
The main problem exists when I run `amcheck -c <config>` from the tape host
(a different box), all looks fine on the client.

can you run dump as the amanda user at the command line?

Yup,
Tried this. When I first installed amanda on the client (yes I am
talking about the client) dump wasn't present so I installed it using:
apt-get install dump and recompiled amanda. I ran make distclean and removed
config.cache before running config again. I've checked the paths for
/sbin/dump and restore numerous times
$ ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Jun 26 15:02 /
$ ls -ld /sbin/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 17 14:11 /sbin/
$ ls -l /sbin/dump
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43856 Mar 13 2000 /sbin/dump
$ ls -l /sbin/restore
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 67152 Mar 13 2000 /sbin/restore
$ file /sbin/dump
/sbin/dump: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), stripped
$ file /sbin/restore
/sbin/restore: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1,
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
It's x + r to world so surely it'll be fine. / /sbin are accessible to world
too.
quizzed??
any other suggestions

I assume you mean you're doing this on the client, right?
Silly question, but are absolutely, 100%, positive /sbin/dump and
/sbin/restore exist **on that client**? I.e. do an "ls -l" of each?

But

Well, what Amanda is doing is an access() call on both programs. So one
thing to try would be:
su <amanda-user> -c "file /sbin/dump"
You might check the permissions on / and /sbin, too.
