You're incorrect regarding how "I" built it, as this was the standard
binary install via YUM. My natural expectation, proven by the
suggestion on SELinux, is that the package was built and installed
properly, but my environment had other issues.
One does not need to build it as the user who will running amanda, one
does need to configure it properly. Consider, for example, the server
side which I've been using since 1998 in various forms has never been
built as the target user, but the FreeBSD ports system correctly
configures it to run as operator.
