Take a look at the first and last lines of sendsize*debug on fatboy.
They will tell you how long the estimate took. Amanda defaults to five
minutes per disk. Do the math and see if that is long enough.

First, why are you trying to back up the holding disk? If that's all
that's in there, it's basically scratch space for Amanda and should not
be part of the normal backups. Is it a file system all by itself? Or
is it part of /opt?
Second, that message says nothing about a timeout. It says the backup
program Amanda tried to run (are you using dump or GNU tar?) could
not do the job for some reason. To find out why, you need to look at
the sendsize*debug or sendbackup*debug files on the client (fatboy).
Or run amcheck -- it may have had something interesting to say.
