"amcheck -c" on the server says that all my clients are fine. However,
when I run amdump, one of the clients, which worked fine previously, is
now failing. 

 The (rather long) debug file in /tmp/amanda seems to indicate that it was
working fine, then timed out. Any idea why this could be ? It's always
just this host.

 It's a very similar problem (with no solution) to the one encountered by;
