That file should exist in /home/"amanda-user"/.amandahosts, and look 
something like this:
---------------
FQDN    amanda
FQDN    root
---------------
Where my amanda-user is amanda.  And I'm not sure if the second line 
is needed at all.  FQDN is the servers full name of course.  This 
file must also exist on the clients, in the same location, which 
gives the server access rights there too.
