Hi! (Amanda 2.4.2p2) I've experienced a strange behaviour of amcheck: It complains "permission denied" on a directory on the client, that should be backed up. It's just the same directory mentioned in the disklist (with option "tar-fast-high"). Strange thing is, that amdump (the normal backup routine) doesn't seem to have any problems, backing this directory up.
To me, it seems, that amcheck does something on the client without root-permissions (and get's back a permission denied error) and later on amdump accesses this directory with root-rights and can straightly go on. Is there a part of code in amcheck/on the client, which tries to access this directory before having superuser rights? If we chmod 711 this directory, amcheck doesn't complain any more. What's going wrong? Bye, Simon Frettloeh
