uups, here it comes: the machines run under sles7 with reiser fs. the error message i got is something like this
something "like" this :-)
ERROR: server.any-host.de: [can not access /data/any-directory/exports/home.nis (/data/any-directory/exports/home.nis): Permission denied]
Is "/data/any-directory" a NFS-mounted directory? (just in case :-) ) Is you DLE dumptype using GNUTAR? (There is no dump for a reiser fs, IRC). Have you tried running the gnutar command by hand as root user (you can find the complete command line in /tmp/amanda/*).
And in /tmp/amanda/*debug, on the client, you probably find lots of other useful info too.
the data directory has 770 and the any-directory 700 rights. i also
Yes, but who owns it. Root I guess?
tried to run amcheck under root but amanda returned the smae results.
No use to run amcheck as root. It connects client-server with tcp to amandad, which is started by (x)inetd and there runs with amanda-priviledges anyway. (But that starts dump or tar with a suid wrapper to have the power to backup.) Do you have lost your suid-bits on those programs? (rundump, runtar etc)
