Do amcheck reported an error?
$ man ambsdtar
STATE-DIR
The directory where ambsdtar stores the database it uses to
generate incremental dumps. The default is set when Amanda is
built.
Create the /usr/local/share/amanda/bsdtar directory of set the property
STATE-DIR to another directory that exists.
