I recognice the problem. Among other things I needed to switch
from localhost to the correct host name :-(
Two reservations:
1. I am no shell script expert. There is only a little error checking,
so this could bite you.
2. The technique is not based on any official Amanda
documentation. It worked for me when I needed it with 2.4.2p1 and
RedHat 8.0.
Please feel free to comment, correct or ignore
