This probably means that the home directory of the amanda user is
/root, where he has no read/write permission. Try to change to
another (/home/amanda for instance) in /etc/passwd. Don't forget to
create the directory if it doesn't exist and set the permission
correctly.
As for the "couldn't write tapelist: Permission denied" message,
it probably is also a permission problem : be sure that the directory
/usr/local/etc/amanda and all the subdirectories belong to amanda
You can do a "chown -R amanda amanda" as root in the directory
/usr/local/etc to be sure.
