Normally that wouldn't be an issue with Amanda, since the runtar and rundump executables are normally suid root so that tar and dump can read everything. Check to make sure yours are. Another less likely possibility (at least for a mail directory) is that it happens to be an NFS mount and the root user is being mapped to nobody (or equivalent) due to mount or export options.
