I would assume that it is something about an incorrect path. What does it say in the webserver logs, e.g. /var/log/httpd/access.log or .../error.log
Can you write the CGI to return information about what it is trying to do to the screen? If it's Perl CGI, something like printf "Here I am\n" ; should give you a message. You can then experiment with what it shows you so you can see what you are really trying to call, and if it exists. Remember that your CGI script will be running as the webserver, not yourself.
As another thought, how will you stop someone just connecting and running this over & over again, clogging up your server?

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
