This really isn't enough info to do more than make a wild guess.

And theres some confusion about servers vs clients.  An amanda server 
is the machine the tape drives live in, everybody else is a client 
(including the server if it also backs itself up), and I'm 
interpreting the above to mean you've added 2 more clients, not 2 
more servers.

I'd start by looking in the logs the client copy of amanda keeps to 
see if the process is dying for some reason.  Amanda does keep pretty 
detailed logs, and does her own log rotations. To me a dtimeout of 
7200 is considerable overkill.
