I have now made a dump on the traffic passing through lo during the amdump. I
have also recompiled amanda with these two settings (as another friendly person
suggested): --with-tcpportrange=50000,50040 --with-udpportrange=890,899

The dump is available at ftp://zappa.cx/pub/amanda.pcap

I used this filter in ethereal to get rid of some other stuff that I suppose is
not interesting: "! dns and ! tcp.port == 25"

I'm not that used to looking at packet dumps and I have never looked at a
working amanda dump so have a look and see if it gives you anymore clues about
what is going on.
