The call to amcleanup is unnecessary. From the amcleanup manpage: DESCRIPTION Amcleanup generates the Amanda Mail Report and updates the Amanda databases after a system failure on a tape server host. This cleanup process is normally done automatically as part of the amdump program, but if amdump cannot com- plete for some reason (usually because of a tape server host crash), amcleanup must be run some time later (usu- ally during system boot).
