...WARNING: xxxx: selfcheck reply timed out
i have managed to fix this - seems the OS partition on the client was at 100% and so this was causing the check to fail. Maybe the error could have been a bit more descriptive!
But probably because the OS partition was full, the OS itself had trouble starting up the client-part for amanda selfcheck, and so amanda hadn't even the chance to give some more informative messages. The server never got a reply back. The selfcheck on the client does already check if there is some minimal space available on e.g. the filesytem that hold /etc (when it has to rewrite amandates), and warns you with nice messages.
