I've cleaned everything up the amanda instalation is if a dare say virginal. I can't figure out where amcheck does get the info. No amanda process is runing and I' doubled checked theres is absolutely no file whatsover in /var/lib/amanda/test (indices or curinfo) and /var/log/amanda is as empty as it could be. I chown'ed all the dirs the amanda user is sole user ????
