I had Amanda-2.4.1 running on 3.4 quite happily, except for the bug in the chg-chio script (search teh archives, it's an extra perl print to STDERR). I built it from ports.

Check the "chio" command. You'll have to build the "ch" device into your kernel. Paul> My 3.4 system identifies it as follows: Paul> <ARCHIVE Python 02636-XXX Paul> Cool, so it is a Python. Should be no problems once you add "ch" to your kernel, get a more modern Amanda, and comment out the STDERR line from chg-chio.
