I think you are running into timeouts in the firewall now.  If its 
iptables, I think there is a way to cut an amanda hole thru it, but 
I'm not that much of a guru on iptables.  What did you change in 
the firewall 2 weeks ago?  Or, if you are running something like 
portsentry, did it decide amanda was wearing a black hat and write 
a new rule into iptables?

I realise I'm fishing here, but it might be things to check.
