The "amanda" group must be coming from somewhere. If >it's not listed in /etc/group, I'm wondering if there's another source >of groups on your system. Pretty close to zero on the above.

I expect some of the above, like the group entries for a group 501, could just as well be deleted. But are they a factor? I don't know. I will get rid of the group 501 entries though, just to make me feel better. FWIW, amanda ran just fine this morning.
