Dustin,

I'm kind of shooting in the dark here (not having tried to set up amanda
client on my Mac desktop yet), but when I installed Timbuktu, I had to
open a Timbuktu specific port in the Mac OS X firewall. If Amanda is
coming in on another port, might it be necessary to do that for Amanda?
Assuming, of course, that most everyone has the firewall turned on.
