First, don't use 'localhost' in your disklist or anywhere else, it will
cause problems later (see the list archives for full discussions of why).

Second, on the Amanda server (which could also be a client) you need to
add a line to your .amandahosts file for each client to allow root to 
restore from that client:

client.domain   root

If you really need to restore the backup you just made, using locahost
would work if the client is also the server, but is NOT recommended.
localhost won't work if the client is on a different machine, or if
someday you change servers.
