One of the problems on the NEW versions of Linux is this whole /etc/udev/...
stuff.
At reboot it rewrites the permissions on /dev/root as root RW only.
SO unless your client is running as root it will fail.
You can edit the appropriate file under /etc/udev/........... to make root
be RW to a particular group as well.

Please describe to this list, exactly how you installed amanda. If from
tarball, every step to the final "make install".
and now the fstab entry in one of the machines:

I used to use GNUTAR. I recognized, that there are 2 instances of tar
installed on these systems! So I switched to DUMP, but it didn't work
out.
