This seems to work: amplot /var/backups/campus/log/amdump.1
Running under the amanda user. However, the issue now is the attempt to write the output to the X11 terminal: gnuplot: unable to open display '' gnuplot: X11 aborted. Not sure what all that's about. So I'm doing a bit of hacking on the gnuplot script to have it write the results out to a png file.
