I am trying to backup a partition on a remote host. On the remote host, I have made 
sure that the amanda backup user is in the group the has rights to the partition and 
to the /etc/dumpdates file. Both the client and the server have dump version 0.4b19 
installed.
 
 When I run amcheck I get the following error:
 Amanda Tape Server Host Check
 -----------------------------
 /var/tmp: 643748 KB disk space available, that's plenty.
 NOTE: skipping tape-writable test.
 Tape vol2 label ok.
 Server check took 17.362 seconds.
 
 Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
 --------------------------------
 ERROR: stick: [DUMP program not available]
 ERROR: stick: [can not read/write /etc/dumpdates: Permission denied]
 Client check: 1 host checked in 1.822 seconds, 2 problems found.
 
 (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1)
 
 I have searched through the egroups list for similar errors and have tried some of 
the solutions with no success. Both machines are running RH6.2.
 
 Does anyone have any ideas?
 
 Thanks Jonathan
