Fine ;-)

I think you just run out of tcp-ports. I don't know exactly if that is
kernel-related but you could try to reconfigure amanda with the
options:

--with-tcpportrange=50000,50040 --with-udpportrange=890,899

(Substitute with your preferred port-numbers)

This would specify the range to use and rule out any differences that
might occur in handling this between kernel-releases. I have these
options in my amanda-configure-script for quite a time now and never
hit these problems with any 2.6-kernel.

You could also read the docs/PORT-USAGE document for more infos on
port-handling.

Give it a try and let us know.

Apart from that the server-side logs would be interesting but I
suggest that reconfig-run first.
