Hi all, last day's dump of Amanda (version 2.5.1b1) failed and files were left over in the holding disk. So I tried to do an amflush which also fails, nearly immediately. Below is some more info:

I am rather new to Amanda. Can anybody shed some light? This is an RPM installation of Amanda version 2.5.1b1 on SuSE 10.0, currently a single PC as client-server.
