Brian, You said manual dump, the amcheck succeeded ?
Did you find any files in the client's /tmp/amanda/ directory ? Do you see any errors in /var/adm/{messages|SYSLOG} ? The client's xinetd files are properly configured to activate the service ? The client's .amandahosts file is properly setup ? Even if the client == server this must be done.
