This says you have "dumpuser" in amanda.conf set to "root", but you
are trying to run amcheck as "amanda".

It's even in the amcheck(8) man page :-).

Either amcheck is not running setuid-root or you have something between
the server and clients (e.g. a firewall) that is doing port remapping.

Do I understand you correctly that amcheck itself is NFS mounted on
the server?  If so, are the NFS export and mount options set up so
root stays root across the mount and setuid programs are allowed?
