(Personally I'd do my initial investigation using gtar directly, but I see
that runtar prints that error message when it finds that argv[3] isn't
"--create", and also that it expects argv[1] to be the config name.  So I
think it would work if you just left out the standalone "runtar " from
the command:

 COMMAND="/usr/local/libexec/amanda/runtar daily 
/usr/local/etc/amanda/tools/gtar ${OPTIONS}"
)
