Mike:

Did you install the modified Amanda software on both client and server?

They have to match so that their port expectations and limitations are
consistent.

We use this configuration here with great success, but you have to install
the portlist modifications on both ends of the connection.

I suppose that could be the next option, but it still does not explain 
why amanda is connecting on port 33xxx when I compiled with restrictions 
to ports 850-854.  I'm hoping someone can explain some of this to me.
