Chris, 

A few more details are needed to help you out.  First are you using amanda to 
backup this machine only?  If so, the problem could be that you need to 
configure amanda-server on this machine also.  What are the results of your 
AMCHECK run?  That may help to debug the problem.

Cordially,
Chris Tusa
