The problem was unrelated to any amanda files. I needed to restart
xinetd. There was no service listening on the amanda udp port. I've
no idea how this happened.

This, on the other hand, is strictly an amanda issue.

I suspect the two problems are related. The last dump that ran had
problems on that dle

  driver: cac0.wmi.com /export/home/ag 0 [dump to tape failed, will try again]

After that nothing on that system worked.
