ISTR I've had that happen once or twice, not recently, because a zombie 
was left on the client, possibly due to a timeout error.  A reboot of 
the client should fix that. And you might add a bit to the timeout 
values in your amanda.conf just for insurance.  An additional 25% 
should be enough, if indeed that was the cause.
