So  the HP/UX 11.00 box is an amanda client?

On the tape server, try running "amcheck -m <configname>" and see what
errors it returns.

I had a similar problem between two FreeBSD boxes. In my case, amcheck told
me that the tape user didn't have permissions set correctly on the amanda
client in various places, including /tmp, /usr/local/var/amanda, and of
course the filesystems I wanted to back up. The problem cleared once I
corrected this.

Another thing to verify is that the client machine lists the tape server
(and user, if it's not the default called from inetd.conf) in its
.amandahosts file. I had a CNAME instead of the canonical FQDN, which may
also have been a problem.
