Found the problem. The firewall blocked communication between taper and

That's strange, because there is no immediate communication between
these two, as far as I know.
Driver is connected with a pipe to each dumper and to taper-reader.
I believe there is a dumper->taper connection, for direct-to-tape
dumps. That's how I read docs/PORT.USAGE, anyway -- see the bits
on stream_server() and stream_client(). But both of those
processes run on the same host, so it's still hard to see how a
firewall could get between them.
Unless Amanda's running on the firewall machine itself -- which
I'd consider an unsafe idea anyway!
