And we are back to the single, most covered in the docs, error.  We 
don't mean to get short with newbies, but the use of localhost is a 
no-no.  Please change your disklist entry to use the FQDN of the 
machine in question.

Then, backup just a few days in the archives where I have posted the 
amanda file that goes in /etc/xinetd.d, and I'll mention that it may 
be you do not have the /home/(user)/.amandahosts file properly 
configured.

Also, I suspect thats an rpm install, as 2.4.2p2 is getting pretty 
long in the tooth now.  I'm running 2.4.5b1-20040510 snapshot here.

While it is possible to beat the rpm versions around and make them 
work, generally speaking its a lot easier to build from the tarball,  
it takes me about 4 minutes to build each new snapshot and install it 
by use of the scripts I use here.
