A stab in the dark here: these settings seem a bit suspicious. Normally one doesn't run Amanda as root; it's able to get root privilege when it needs it (that's what the little runtar and rundump programs are for). I don't know anything about 2.6-series kernels, but maybe some change snuck in that interferes with Amanda trying to run as root.
Even if that turns out not to be the source of your 2.6.6 problem, for security reasons I'd suggest running Amanda as some other user.
I'll give it a shot, I have actually ment to do that anyway, but since everything has worked flawlessly I didn't bother. But I guess you never can have to much security anyways.
