Am I correct that this is the first time that a backup is tried on

That is correct, it was the first time that this client has been backed up.

Have close look at your xinetd configuration for amanda.
Maybe you have "wait = no", instead of "yes" in the file?
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = disk
server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
disable = no
}
It has wait=yes already.
Just a guess.
Have a look in /tmp/amanda/*debug files too.
After only one session I have 1029 files in the /tmp/amanda directory.
Lookiing at the most recent, I see:

However at this point the server may be totally hung and things may not
be working well. The first one (right after the backup started) seems
to be working better:
