Looks like you have the account set up with the proper group membership.

Are you using inetd or xinetd?

Are you certain it is starting amandad as user "backup" (look at the
first line of one of the amandad*debug files on the client)?

Do you have "groups yes" in the xinetd config file (if you don't it only
gets started in group "disk", which would explain the /sbin/dump problem,
but not the dumpdates one).
