The other way this can happen is if you have multiple names in your
disklist that refer to the same client machine.  Amanda will consider
them unique due to their names being different and try to contact
each name separately, but the amanda client is not multi-threaded and
will NAK the 2nd connection attempt if the 1st is still running.

This should be a FAQ if it isn't already.
