Could it be that Amanda has a maximum retries that was exceeded ?

Hmmmm, I set the server side etimeout to 2600s.  Still get (from an
amstatus)

        pjmac:/    0 planner: [Estimate timeout from pjmac]

and the amanda report now gives this (mind you, this client
is the only entry in this "test" config)

        Estimate Time (hrs:min)    2:10

2 hours and 10 minutes!

The message from amandad on the client is virtually the same

        <snip>

        amandad: time 1294.907: pid 29584 finish time Thu Nov 17 14:52:41 2005

Shouldn't the approx. 1255s required to get the estimate fall clearly
within the 2600s allowed?

Not sure where things are going wrong now
