I haven't done any Unix in 4 years , but   rw,rw,--  didn't sound right.I 
think you need to  rwx,rwx,---  so that you can EXECUTE the files,or access the 
files in a directory  (executing the directory).
Try adding the "x"  back in??

No reply's.  Amazing since the wiki page claims its the most popular 
backup ever..  So I've played the 10,000 monkeys trying to rewrite 
Shakespears output, probably followed the ownership and perms too well.  
Tried to invent the user backup, succeeded well enough I can login as 
first user (gene) then sudo -i to become root.  then "su backup", who 
can the df a 10T raid6 and see:
  backup@amanda:/root$ df /raid6
Filesystem                           1K-blocks         Used  Available  
         Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg0-myraid 11272913680 1055764 11271857916   1%  /raid6
owned by backup:backup, with  perms=040660, or rw,rw,--.  looks good 
right? BUT:
====================
root@amanda:~# su backup
backup@amanda:/root$ ls -l /raid6
ls: cannot access '/raid6/DailySet1': Permission denied
total 0
d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? DailySet1
backup@amanda:/root$ ls -l /raid6/DailySet1
ls: cannot access '/raid6/DailySet1': Permission denied
====================
So something is still fubar.  The question is what?
Thank you for any assistance.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
