Thanks all for the help. The problem was referring to the same computer by 2
different names.
The share was backed up last night but the log showed the following error.
FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:

/-- BS1        //ADS1/AMRightFax$ lev 0 STRANGE
sendbackup: start [BS1://ADS1/AMRightFax$ level 0]

/etc/codepages/codepage.850 does exist owned by root with 0644 permissions.
The other files do not. Is there a way to fix this?

Yep -- that's the problem.  Amanda thinks that they are two different
machines, and so tries to contact them separately.  But they're not, and
so it can't.

Changing everything to the hostname (not localhost) is the way to go.
