Hmm, "loopback" suggests that your disklist refers to the machine
in question as "localhost".  Try replacing that with its FQDN.
Mucho, mucho discussion in the list archives...

It should already exist.  Take a look at the debug files, in
/tmp/amanda by default, but you (or in this case, the ebuild)
might have configured them to go elsewhere.  Start with the
amandad.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.debug files.
