sudo NOT su... Read the first link, they go together... AFIK, you'll need to
reformat the whole command for sudo (as it is not the same format as su).
Don't run as root either! Run it as plain amanda, even if you have to stick
it in a test script and add it to amanda cron to kick it off.
Do use visudo to edit sudoers, it will use whatever editor* you have exported,
e.g.:
export EDITOR=nano

This second URL showed me how to edit the sudoers file and add this:
amanda ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/opt/trinity/bin/dcop
But it still fails:
root@coyote:~$ su amanda -c "/opt/trinity/bin/dcop --user gene
--all-sessions kmail KMailIface resumeBackgroundJobs"
