As I don't run amanda across network boundaries, probably I can be of
little help here. Few pointers, however:

* Did you spent some quality time using tcpdump and friends to see your
modified build of amanda actually is exclusively using the port range
you want it to use? I recommend doing some monitoring and figuring out
what happens in your setup.

* Perhaps you might consider using an option other than amanda for doing
cross-network backups. No offense folks, I love amanda and its feature
set, but sync'ing machines across networks usually I fall back to using
rsync/ssh as it needs way less firewall tweaking / port opening.
Overally, as I dislike the idea of having _one_ amanda installation
making its way through a firewall, the idea of having even _two_ of them
gives me the creeps. :)

Cheers,
Kristian
