the .amandahosts should be something like
server.domain.co.uk root server.domain.co.uk amanda
odd output from netstat -a, this shouldn't respond until you 'ping' the appropriate port..
also check the logs (usually /tmp/amanda for any clues, as well as making sure the amanda in /etc/xinet.d is properly configured to allow the local host access to itself.

Hi I added the files amanda and amandaix to /etc/xinetd.d enable running chkconfig -s xinetd 345 and rebooted.

Also in /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts I have my client
#localhost amanda server.domain.co.uk /etc comp-root-tar
But I still get WARNING: server.domain.co.uk: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Any Ideas relating to my Client being down.
