I just compiled and installed Amanda 2.5.0p2 as a client on a Red Hat Enterprise ES 4 machine. Our server (which has been running for years) is a Red Hat 8 machine running Amanda 2.4.2p2. I’ve modified the disklist file in the archive section of our server to only back up the new server, named owl, via the following line:

owl /home/path/to/files user-tar


However, when I try to run /usr/sbin/amcheck Archive, I get the following error:
===============================================================

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------

Holding disk /usr/amandatmp: 10851752 KB disk space available, that's plenty
ERROR: label DailySet103 doesn't match labelstr "^archive[0-9][0-9]*$"
       (expecting tape archive09 or a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/Archive/curinfo/owl: does not exist
NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/Archive/index/owl: does not exist
Server check took 18.177 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: owl: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?

Client check: 1 host checked in 29.998 seconds, 1 problem found

===============================================================
This was just a test run, so the bad tape error is ok, and I assume the info and index errors are ok, since a backup has never been run. The problem is with the Host Down error. I’ve enabled Amanda in xinetd.d, and restarted xinetd. a chkconfig –-list tells me that Amanda is up and running. There is no firewall on the server, and hosts.deny is empty.

What else can I look at to figure out why this isn’t connecting?
