That's just documentation about where Amanda was built. It's not used
for anything.

Those values are only used by amrecover in case you don't set them with
the command line switches.

That's just the incoming packet. It doesn't say anything about whether
the checks worked or not. And if you're getting this:
>ERROR: nushtel: [access as operator not allowed from operator@backupservername]
then selfcheck is not even being run by amandad.
What else is in /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug? What version of Amanda
are you using? Newer versions will tell you about (e.g.) permissions
problems and the like.
What's in ~operator/.amandahosts? It should be:
backupservername operator
and the names should be **exactly** as the error message reports them
(i.e. if it gives a fully qualified name, the file should have a fully
qualified name).
