Probably not.. I'm not running a local mail server, and it was set to
send to a local user "amanda". There aren't even any local tools for
sending mail. Do I have to install mail facilities to be able to get
these reports?

amviewreport doesn't exist, and amreport seems to require an MTA.

I'm trying to keep the scenario as simple as possible so I can just
see something work, so the server host is the same as the client
host. Is there a daemon process I need to kick off before doing an
amdump?

There is no /tmp/amanda. I did find a /var/spool/amanda/tmp/dumps,
but it was empty.
