Amanda uses the full path to all the backup/restore programs that it was configured with (and are fixed at compile time). So if Amanda was built with your dump program as /usr/sbin/dump. but now it is /sbin/dump or /usr/local/bin/dump, then you will get the 'program not available' error even though 'dump' is somewhere in the Amanda user's path. (Disclaimer: I'm a 'tar' user, and am assuming Amanda deals with ufsdump, vxdump, and other variants of dump in a similar way to the way it finds GNU tar.) Somewhere near the beginning of /tmp/amanda/amandad.*.debug you can find the full command path that Amanda is trying to run. You can then either make a link from there to the real program, or (probably better for the long term) rebuild Amanda with the correct path.
