Why you never posted the error in the amandad debug file?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

amandad: time 21603.781: sending NAK pkt:
<<<<<
ERROR timeout on reply pipe
>>>>>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

amanda have a timeout of 6 hours (21600 seconds).
You can change it in amanda-src/amandad.c
Change the value of REP_TIMEOUT.

Since the estimate is really slow, you could try calcsize or server.

If sendsize is not running, it's because it crashed.

Hmm, it's definitely not running, but I don't see any trace of a crash.
Is there more verbose logging that can be turned on somewhere?

I don't understand why amandad finish before sendsize, can you post
complete amandad and sendsize debug files.

Of course, attached.  amdump is still running, btw, so I can send that
log, or any other that's useful.

Thanks again!
