Mike, I think this is a known bug, you need to update to one of the 2.5.1p1 
versions.  It bit lots of us.

See <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda/>

I ran the 20061004 snapshot last night, and it worked just fine.

If the client is a slower client, you might have to enlarge the 'etimeout' 
and 'dtimeout' settings too, but I believe that won't fix the bug I 
referred to.  Really big estimates and dumps will exceed those defaults, 
and you didn't say how big they might be.  My largest dle is about 9GiB, 
and ISTR I've had those doubled for years.  My one client is a little 
slow, its only a 500mhz k6 with 320megs of ram.  I have things divided up 
into usually not more than 2GiB dle's, some considerably smaller, so 
amanda can have a ball balancing things.  About 55GiB total.
