Well, I'm back. Hopefully this isn't going to require the application of a
clue by four, but I'll take it if that's what has to happen.

I have my server, RH8.0 running Amanda 2.4.4 that I built on there. My only
client currently is a RH6.2 machine that I have running the amanda-2.4.1p1-7
RPM from RedHat. I'm trying to avoid installing a compiler and building on
the client if I can.

Amcheck gives no erors. However, when I try to do amdump, its breaking. I've
included the email from amanda below. There doesn't look to be anything
particularly interesting in the logs, but I've pasted the amandad.debug from
the client below. I've also pasted my disklist. I've tried searching through
the groups without any success and the faq is down right now it appears, so
I appreciate any help you can give me.
