I have had this happen when I did not have the proper FQDN in
.amandahosts. For my situation, we are changing over the Math and Computer
Science domain (mcs.drexel.edu) to a strict Computer Science domain
(cs.drexel.edu). The result is that Drexel decided to alias all of the new
cs.drexel.edu domain names to the current mcs.drexel.edu domains.
Therefore, if I specified the server as foo.cs.drexel.edu, it would fail,
because it got foo.mcs.drexel.edu or some such thing. When I added
foo.cs.drexel.edu to /etc/hosts everything worked.
The only other time I've had that happen was when the firewall was
blocking datagrams, but you said you checked that.
