I have ctimeout set to 150, but amcheck appears to be ignoring that...

-bash-3.1$ /usr/sbin/amcheck -c CIS monkey.cis.uab.edu

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: monkey.cis.uab.edu: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.002 seconds, 1 problem found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.5p1)
-bash-3.1$

The amandad debug on monkey sees this:

So that's the first problem.  Any thoughts on this one?
