Yeah, yeah.  We've heard all that before :-).

Amcheck and amdump (dumper) use **exactly** the same access mechanisms
to the clients.  So you're clearly just imagining this.  It can't be
happening :-).

When you run amcheck, does a new /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug file get
created (or the existing one updated)?  What's in it?  In particular,
what are the stop and start times (first and last lines)?

Ditto for selfcheck*debug.

That makes sense.  Etimeout is for estimates done during amdump.
You want to crank up ctimeout (for "check timeout").
