Unfortunately, I figured it out.  I found out that the backup user needs
to be able to obtain an authentication token in order to use volutil.
This was accomplished by changing group ownership and permissions on the
/vice/db/volutil.tk file to be owned by the backup group and readable to
the backup group.  Once I did that, 'amcheck daily -c' worked like a charm.

Jan, are you perhaps running amanda as root and not as a backup (or
other) user?  Or had you already done something similar (or completely
different) to allow the backup user access to volutil information?

Thanks.
