Yep. It's working exactly as it should. You probably don't want it sending a
backup to tape.hijack-your-data.net. 

The .amandahosts should be more like this: 

tape.control.att.com         amanda
cluster-adm.control.att.com  amanda

The exact machine name in the error message is what has to appear in the
.amandahosts file.
