Unless the backup user is in the disk group it has no permissions on this file.
Although I'm not sure what the 's' indicates in the permissions of amcheck.
Setuid, run the executable as the owner (root in this case). Running root setuid binaries is a dangerous practice and can open all kinds of holes in your system.
