For complete coverage of all the configs you may try, you will need, in 
the .amandahosts file, 4 entries for each machine.

FQDN  root
FQDN  amanda_user
ALIAS of FQDN root
ALIAS of FQDN amanda_user.

The amanda_user is for making the the backups, and the root user is for 
recovering them.

You are showing only the alias, which must be in the /etc/hosts file 
IIRC for that to work.  We're assuming the hosts file already has the 
FQDN of each machine.
