It sounds as if you have a mix-n-match install there. If an rpm, it could be /var/lib/amanda. But the default for building a tarball is /usr/local/whatever.
Move your tapelists and the rest of your config stuff to /usr/local/etc/amanda and see if that fixes things by running amcheck (as the user who normally runs amanda, it won't run as root), and fixing any other errors (warnings can be ignored) that pop up. Also do an 'rpm -e amanda*' to get rid of the rpms , they have no business surviving on the system if you have built amanda from a tarball. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.26% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
