Not sure if this is your issue, but... I've had some funny issues when I've been unable to resolve client names, or clients not properly resolving amanda server names, as in when the amanda client is a solaris zone or in an odd segement of my network.
I never rely on "localhost" and always use proper host names, if I continue to have failure issues, which I recognize as DNS rather than amanda issues, I'll add the requisit name to the local /etc/hosts file.
