The files/amanda-profile file sets the path for the amanda user. Any XFS partition with quotas backed up using "dump" will generate an error. "xfsdump" will run "xfsdq" to save the quota data, which is not in the path of the amanda user. The error looks like this:

  | xfsdump: using file dump (drive_simple) strategy
  | xfsdump: version 2.2.16 (dump format 3.0) - Running single-threaded
  | xfsdump: saving user quota information for: /home
  ? sh: line 1: xfsdq: command not found
  ? xfsdump: ERROR: xfsdq failed with exit status: 32512
  ? xfsdump: ERROR: failed to save user quota information, continuing

It can easily be corrected by adding /sbin to amanda's .profile:

files/amanda-profile:
export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/libexec:${PATH}
