It seems to be tuneable.  From the header of the source code:

*       Module load syntax:
 *      insmod ip_conntrack_amanda.o [master_timeout=n]
 *      
 *      Where master_timeout is the timeout (in seconds) of the master
 *      connection (port 10080).  This defaults to 5 minutes but if
 *      your clients take longer than 5 minutes to do their work
 *      before getting back to the Amanda server, you can increase
 *      this value.

I should test it one of these nights...
