Stan's not alone on this one. I have two OpenBSD 4.5 machines also on Sun SPARC hardware. I had this same trouble a couple months ago with 2.6.1, but didn't have time to look deeper. After seeing this discussion, I built amanda-2.6.2alpha-20090812 (can't get 0820 to compile). I'm getting exactly the same errors. I tried dump with and without compression.
My Amanda server is on Solaris 10, and I have a mix of Solaris, Linux, and OpenBSD systems. Except for the above-mentioned build, everything is at 2.6.1p1. There are no firewalls on the Amanda server or the OpenBSD clients. I know "me too" responses aren't usually helpful, but maybe this will rule out the firewall question, at least.
