What do you have in your .amandahosts?
Where is it?

Should go to ~backup and look like

backer backup

even better

backer.domain.xyz backup

(FQDN - fully qualified hostname)

As the client connects as the dump-user (which seems to be backup in
your setup), amandad has got to let it in and looks it up in

~dumpuser/.amandahosts
