As an aside, pre-compiled amanda is generally bad.  You learn a lot going 
through the building and installation process.

The amdump man page tells you the proper syntax.  You're telling amanda 
that the configuration name is amanda.conf, and it's looking for an 
amanda.conf file in the configuration directory.  The best ways to get 
started with amanda are (somewhat in this order):

1) The chapter on amanda at www.backupcentral.com

2) docs/INSTALL in the amanda source distribution

3) FAQ-O-Matic available via www.amanda.org

4) The man pages

5) This list
