All went well and the backup finished successful. Then I switched to my

earlier:
These dumps were to tape dflt10.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: dflt11.
The next new tape already labelled is: dflt12.

So I tarred up the /tmp/amanda dir and put it at
ftp://zappa.cx/pub/amanda-zappa.cx.tar.gz if anyone wants to take a look at it.
This is the complete failed session and nothing else.

In /tmp/amanda are mostly client files.  The debug files are all, as
far as I can see, from the succeeded session.  When failing, the
client does not even get started somehow, or did I miss that file?

But I don't expect something shocking in those files anyway.
As it seems to be network related, I'm still more interested to know
if the client had trouble sending the packets, or the server had trouble
receiving it.  A tcpdump trace of the failing session would be really
helpful.
