Maybe my error was not the same, but it did concern amanda-security.conf
permission. It was back in July, so my memory maybe confused :)

Yes, and I just check the permission and ownership:
/, /usr, /usr/local/, /usr/local/etc belong to 0:0 with mode 755
/usr/local/etc/amanda belongs to amanda:amanda with permission 755
The pamameter --with-security-file (used for ./configure I guess) is in
the default FreeBSD port Makefile, I just moved it to
/usr/local/etc/amanda.
