When I get to this part :
su amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1"
it seems to return quite quickly without any messages at all.
The normal way is to run "amcheck" first, fix everything it complains about, before proceeding with a real amdump.
The error messages of amcheck are usually much less cryptic than the other utilities.
If you got that far, and still have trouble, you can have a look in /tmp/amanda, where each client has his logfiles. And there is this mailing list, where you can post the exact error messages you find. Of course.
