The tool you want to use to debug this is 'amcheck', not amdump.  This is 
a very common error message with new setups.  There are several possible 
fixes here:

Well, 7.2 is pretty darn old.  But you should be able to get this to work.
Go through the FAQ-O-Matic stuff above, look in /tmp/amanda on the client, 
and see if you can get amcheck happy.  If none of that works, come on back 
with the exact error messages and any relevant log files.
