Holy Krap, that was it: "gnutar" versus "GNUTAR". Thats gotta be a faq -- sorry if I missed it. Thanks for your help!

I have just compiled amanda-2.5.0p1 on two systems. When I run amcheck on the server system the server checks out fine, but I get this for the client check:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: SystemA.local:/ does not support DUMPER-API.
ERROR: SystemA.local: [BOGUS REQUEST PACKET]
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.014 seconds, 1 problem found


You get this error message when the program parameter in the dumptype is
 not "GNUTAR" or "DUMP", e.g. "gnutar" lowercase instead of uppercase.



I can't find any reference to this problem except one indicating a mismatch between Amanda versions, which I know isn't the problem in this case. Does anyone know where I should start looking? Is this a configuration problem or a missing requirements problem?
