First off, listing error messages that reference a line of your amanda configuration are pretty useless without context. Please show the block of lines centered around the line referred to in the error message. Quite often a simple typo or syntax error throws off the scanning and you get an error that refers to an adjacent line and is otherwise uninterpretable. Since you had a working configuration and made changes, you should know exactly which lines are at fault. If you post it, someone might spot the error.

There is a document here How To:Set up data encryption - The Open Source Backup Wiki (Amanda, MySQL Backup, BackupPC) that might help. Also, the man page, which is online here amcrypt-ossl-asym.

amaespipe

AMAESPIPE(8)						  System Administration Commands					      AMAESPIPE(8)

NAME

       amaespipe - wrapper program for aespipe

SYNOPSIS

       amaespipe

DESCRIPTION

       amaespipe requires aespipe, uuencode and gpg to work. Aespipe is available from : http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net

       amaespipe will search for the aespipe program in the following directories: /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin.

       amaespipe is called by amcrypt for Amanda data encryption.

       amaespipe is based on aespipe's bzaespipe program. It calls aespipe to encrypt data using AES256 as the encryption and SHA256 as the hash
       function. GPG key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg/am_key.gpg.  amaespipe reads passphrase from file descriptor 3. During
       decryption, amaespipe autodects encryption type and hash function from the encrypted image.
