The 'disklist' file needs FQDN names, and user amanda needs
rights on them. Also the client soft needs to be installed on
the remote machines.

It does, it does, and it is. In fact, I made sure user amanda has
the same UID/GID on both machines. The source code and
configuration was copied from the tape host to the client and
re-compiled (for client only). I never even see that the tape
host is connecting to the client - the system logs on both sides
show nothing (whereas the system log on the tape host shows it
connecting to itself through xinetd).

Humm, memory, 2nd thing to go?  Nah, you're too young. :-)

Lets see, .amandahosts is used and configured?  Both machines host
files up to date, passwords synched, ah, mm, and I'm fresh out of
ideas. :-(

Somebody else jump in here before I drown...

Try running tcpdump/snoop/whatever on both client and server, watching
for traffic between the two.  Then you can see if the client is trying
to talk to the server, if the server sees the packets, if the server
is replying, and if the client sees the replies.   Any firewalls on
or between the client and server?
