Yup.

--------------------------------------------------
infofile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo"        # database DIRECTORY
logdir   "/etc/amanda/DailySet1"                # log directory
indexdir "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/index"          # index directory
--------------------------------------------------

So that will want some sed work in the next iteration. But that does
not affect my goal.

After two amdumps and several amrecovers:

"When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of
the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but
the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one
presents a state of society under the protection of just and
well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government
of brute force."
