Start in the disklist and get rid of any localhost entries, use only 
FQDN's there.

Make sure your /etc/hosts file is complete, including a direct 
translation of the servers FQDN to the servers IP address.

And make sure the .amandahosts file is correct, including perms, which 
for security should be 0600.  Amanda will read it with more 
permissive perms ok, but you don't exactly want half the planet 
reading that.

Then make sure the amanda related files in /etc/xinetd.d are correct.
