This proves that the client amandad has no problems with /tmp or how
it is mounted. Good.

Thus is there any tell tale signs on why Amanda Client process amanadad
is not working properly and causing my tape server to "selfcheck request
timed out message"

Now run the amcheck on the server again, and see what messages you
got in /tmp/amanda.
If nothing at all got created, than ythe check request didn't even reach
the host/port, or (x)inetd couldn't start amandad.

Please note that I have added ports 10080 10082 and 10083 within SuSE
SLES 9 Default Firewall and I also disbaled it and it didn't make any
difference.
Plus it's on my side of the firewall.

Firewall is still not to be ruled out...  Check (x)inetd settings
too. (like "disable = yes" :-) )
