On each client that is using tar for dumping you need
/etc/amandadates, owned by client's "amandauser/group",
rw by user&group
If your server is also a client, then you need that file.
amandahosts should be ".amandahosts" and it should not
be in /etc, but in the home directory of amandauser.
BTW in your line:
> # sudo ls /etc/ama*
Do you really need to sudo to execute ls on the /etc dir?
Particularly if you are already running as root ('# ' prompt).
