The general answer is to recompile amanda with a dedicated portrange
and open those ports in the firewall. See the explanation in
docs/PORT.USAGE .
If the firewall is running Linux, it could be as easy as loading the
amanda netfilter modules "ip_conntrack_amanda" and maybe "ip_nat_amanda".
Beware of 2.6.6rc2 kernel that are reported to give some trouble:

I've not yet verified this.
Just a quick note here.. the actual change that broke it were between
2.6.6-rc1 and 2.6.6-rc2. 2.6.7 still mess things up for me if I load the
amanda nat modules.
