Right. If you are running the official Debian package, that's the user
you care about.

The directory is "/var/backups" (note the trailing "s"). It's part of
the "base-files" package, so it should definitely exist on any
Debian system (or Debian derivative).

Are you running this amcheck back on the Amanda server (i.e. coyote)?
Your earlier email showed you running amcheck as the "amanda" user, so
to switch to the Debian package, make sure you have changed ownership of
the /var/log/amanda/Daily, /var/log/amanda/server/Daily, and
/var/log/client/Daily directory trees to "backup.backup"....
If that still doesn't work, post here the output of
# ls -dl /var/log/amanda/{,server,client}/Daily/
plus the full error message from amcheck....
