Taper (amdump), amadmin and amlabel.

I assume you mean setuid (s), not sticky (t).

It's unlikely you're running amlabel, so that pretty much leave amadmin
or taper (from within amdump). So, do you call amadmin as any part of
your dump sequence? Do you call it as the Amanda user?
Are you positive you are running amdump as the Amanda user? Who owns,
for instance, the amdump.1 file? If it's root, too, then amdump is
being run by root.
Taper should most definitly **not** be setuid-root, so that could be
another problem.
