It should probably be owned by "operator", and should be mode 0400
or 0600. It should not be group/world readable.

What are the permissions on /root? I seem to recall people having
problems with that in the past.

You sure about that? Note this message:
fopen of //.amandahosts failed: No such file or directory
That's not the path you think it should be.
Amanda creates that name by sticking "/.amandahosts" on the end of the
home directory (as reported by getpwuid) of whoever it is running as.
If you look at the first line of the amandad*debug file it will tell
you the UID. Based on the message, whatever user that maps to (which
should be "operator", but don't assume that since things are obviously not
working right someplace along the line) appears to have a home directory
of "/".
