Have you tried all the steps outlined in the FAQ at www.amanda.org?

It's not supposed to. Selfcheck has a protocol with its parent. It is
not normally run by itself unless you're debugging and know the protocol.
However I don't think you need to be at this level to solve your problem.
The above is no doubt caused by something wrong earlier in the sequence
and the FAQ will almost certainly point you in the right direction.
Billions and billions have been served by it :-).
If you still don't get anywhere, post back what you tried and what the
results were, and we'll see what other suggestions we can come up with.
