Yes, amcheck passed.

/tmp/amanda doesn't exist.
There isn't anything that seems to be related to amanda in the messages log.
amcheck didn't pass until I setup the xinetd files.  Can I assume they are
setup correctly if amcheck is fine?
How can I test the .amandahosts file?

Brian,

You said manual dump, the amcheck succeeded ?

Did you find any files in the client's /tmp/amanda/ directory ?
Do you see any errors in /var/adm/{messages|SYSLOG} ?
The client's xinetd files are properly configured to activate
the service ? The client's .amandahosts file is properly setup ?

Even if the client == server this must be done.
