I have run some more tests and now I am getting a different error message altogether in my logs. I am attaching the amdump log and the script amaespipe, which is used to encrypt. The amaespipe is complaining about improper usage.
I had to make some changes to the script because Solaris does not have the head, tail and uuencode options the original script wanted. Here is the original line for the amaespipe script for the seedstring: seedstr=`head -c 18 /dev/urandom | uuencode -m - | head -n 2 | tail -n 1` Solaris does not like the -c in head, the -m in uuencode and the way the tail command is setup. Also, I was told that amanda installs aespipe, I checked what was installed and it looks like it installs amaespipe not aespipe. Amaespipe calls aespipe, however.

For my part, I don't know much about encryption, beyond how it fits into Amanda. The page you link to is quite out of date, unfortunately -- amaespipe included in Amanda now, for one thing. >From the error, it sounds like GPG isn't finding its keys. Are things set up as described here: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amcrypt Perhaps someone with a more modern encryption implementation jump in?
