First of all, do I understand correctly that you're trying to planner
by hand? Although that can be done for debugging purposes, it is
certainly not a recommended procedure. For one thing, it will leave
pieces partially done (a "log" file) that you'll have to clean up or
the next real run will fail (it will look like amcleanup needs to be run).
Next, what version of Amanda are you trying to use? At 2.4.1* most
programs assumed they were running in the config directory and so could
just open "amanda.conf". At 2.4.2 they all chdir to /tmp/amanda (or
whatever debug directory you configured) so if they drop core it will
go there. Then they all accept a config name parameter that they tack
on to the configdir value you set when you built Amanda to find (e.g.)
amanda.conf.
So if you're running 2.4.1*, you must first cd to the config directory.
If you're running 2.4.2*, you must pass the config name as a parameter.
