Turned out I had to rebuild and reinstall amanda to effect that path change. I have a script that automates that. However, 1.27.1 did pass ALL of amanda's "amcheck" and "make check" tests. But a megabyte of log, 1/2 of which is "FAILED"? Genuine spooky. But we'll see if the email from amanda is any less mouthy tonight... Thanks Pavel.
