The usual concerns apply:
1) did you check the scsi chains on all machines to ensure proper
termination, proper cables &c &c
2) What is in the syslog on the hanging machine
3) You say the machine gets slower and slower (which means it's
progressive).
Did you try running top (or similar) on the machine to see what was
happening (e.g. was the machine running out of memory ? out of swap
space ?)
Was there anything special in the /tmp/amanda logfiles ?
[you will have to make sure /tmp/amanda is not mounted on tmpfs
4) Are you using software compression ?

Could you run top/ps -ef or whatever to see what exactly is runnig, and
what is hogging the CPU ?
Are you using ufsdump or tar dump ?
Kind regards,
