[Chris Hassell] 
/etc/group (and /etc/gshadow) handle groups, so the error message would have to 
mention groups.

/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow handle users.  It's complaining about the user 
"backup" versus the user "amanda".

Where was this built?  Was it the default-from-debian?  I may pull that apart 
to see how they decided it should be built by default.
