Based on that message, your server appears to be running the main CVS
code, otherwise known as "2.5" or the development (i.e. "expermental")
branch. Is that correct and did you realize that? If you don't want
to be on the bleeding edge you might consider going back to 2.4.2p1,
the latest stable release.
I've seen a timeout problem where clients were not at 2.5 and the
server was. It has to do with the new protocol engine in the security
code in 2.5, but I didn't bother working on it at the time (although I
seem to recall posting to amanda-hackers, with no reply).
>... The fix is probably fairly obvious ...
Actually, I suspect the fix is going to require some reasonably
good coding, C level and protocol debugging experience on your part.
You might search the amanda-hackers archive for my post and see if that
gets you started.

No, this isn't the problem and no, you don't have tell Amanda about this.
It figures it out for itself.
