Hi Deb,

Which release of amanda are you using?

server is running Amanda-2.4.3  on FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p3
client is running Amanda-2.4.3b4 on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE i386

amanda-2.4.4p1 will report a failed dump for this kind error and
reschedule a level 0 for the next day.

amadmin CONFIG due NODE DISK
indicated the next level 0 wasn't scheduled for 7 days yet
(I forced one)

That was fixed on 2003-04-26.
