Make sure your backup user is part of the correct group to have access to the disk. Try to 'su - backupuser' and check if you can see those disks. Tar works because Aamnda uses a suid runtar wrapper script that runs tar as root (although it isn't used by amcheck, so you would still get errors from amcheck even though amdump would work).
