Thats the latest version I've installed on that box, but its been running ok since back in 2001 or so. On both of my boxes, amanda is a member of the group 'disk' Did you build it as the user 'amanda', then become root to install? That is the std proceedure that automaticly handles all the perms correctly. >When I run amcheck, I get > >[can not execute /usr/local/libexec/runtar: Permission denied] > >for this client.
