-rw-r----- amandaba disk root:object_r:etc_t /etc/amandates

Other clients behind the firewall work fine.

Any ideas?

Verified that too.  user and group are set to amandabackup and disk
respectively.

I'm beginning to suspect firewall rules; I have appropriate openings for
the internal and external clients, but the failing clients are firewalls
so perhaps I need to open up ports on 127.0.0.1?

Good Luck.
