ive been getting these errors for a couple of weeks now.  last time i asked for 
help i was using ip's instead of host names in my disklist file. it was 
suggested that amanda was treating the ip's as host names and trying to resolve 
them, perhaps producing the errors i was getting.  i have changed the ip's to 
full hostnames, but i am still getting the same errors?

cytopia01 is a nt server,  i am backing up three large shares off two separate 
disks on cytopia01. my amandapass file has the full host name,  and the amanda 
username and password for connecting to the nt server.  now i can resolve the 
host name fine.  and i can smbmount each area fine and browse files?  this 
error is just produced when running amdump
