The usual approach is to put your Amanda user in the group that owns
the device and enable group read (but not write).  Or, you can chgrp
the device to a group only your Amanda user is a member of.

For instance, my Amanda user is "backup" and it is in group "backup",
so here is a typical device entry:

  crw-r-----   1 root     backup    85,  5 Sep 14  2000 /dev/md/rdsk/d5
