Just in case it makes any difference to what you know already, the backups for tapesrv are working just fine.

Then why do you get a timeout message? Unless you mixed up both machines when you edited the hostnames in your example.

Please confirm the exact error message that you are getting; if you think you need to edit the hostnames, triple-check what you are doing; and please give us the debug files in /tmp/amanda/ from the machine that is failing.
