Check the debug files in /tmp/amanda on the client.  There will probably
be a clue hiding in there somewhere.  The files are written by each
component, so for estimate debugging, check the sendsize.<#> files.  The
<#> refers to the Unix timestamp appended to each one.  

I'd use 'ls -lt sendsize.* | head' to list the files chronologically
(most recent first) and quickly find the one from my most recent run.
