f.y.i. The reboot of the client did indeed fix the problem without me having to change any of the timeout settings. I only refrained from doing this because my timeouts were more than high enough already and as the backup size hadn't suddenly changed, the backups should have worked with their current settings. Would love to know what the reboot does to sort the problem. Prior to the reboot I had killed off all the amanda owned processes but still the backups failed. The reboot suggestion from Gene sorted it however. Thank you for your input Gene and amanda-users! Shabs.

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.
