Problems dumping from Solaris

Hello,

I have an amanda backup server running on a Sun Ultra 2 with the Gentoo Linux OS. I initially setthis up to backup two Windows PCs, and it works great.

Now I need to expand it's job and backup some Solaris boxes, particularly one that is running SunOS5.6. I believe I have configured everything correctly. amcheck returns just fine. I have compiled aversion of Amanda for Solaris and placed it in an NFS exported filesystem that the client to bebacked up can see.


When I do amdump cc501 on the Ultra 2 it takes about 15 minutes and then 
returns this:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  cc501      /export/h4 lev 0 FAILED [Estimate timeout from cc501]

NOTES:
  planner: Adding new disk cc501:/export/h4.
  driver: WARNING: got empty schedule from planner

DUMP SUMMARY:

cc501        /export/h4  0 FAILED ---------------------------------------



The log file on the server shows nothing. There is no log file on the client. I 
did notice this though:

>ps -ef | grep amanda
  amanda  2702   149  0 15:02:27 ?        0:00 amandad
  amanda  2709  2702  0                   0:00 <defunct>
   jlm17  2721  1615  0 15:02:41 pts/2    0:00 grep amanda
  amanda  2710  2708  0 15:02:27 ?        0:00 
/sontools/local/amanda/libexec/sendsize
  amanda  2708  2702  0 15:02:27 ?        0:00 
/sontools/local/amanda/libexec/sendsize
   jlm17  2724  1615  0 15:02:42 pts/2    0:00 grep amanda

Notice that <defunct> that is started by amandad. Does anyone know what amandad starts up betweenthe two execs of sendsize? I tried to have a some sort of script wait for amandad to start up andthen truss (Solaris version of strace) its output, but it never got to the process in time and italways just returned "sleeping".

Not sure what to do to get this going since I have no output to give me an idea why it is failing.Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
