Sorry for my total lack of experience in the Windows world :-( I turned off the Windows firewall on the Seerver 2008 box, and ran an amchekck. Here is what I got for thta machine:
ERROR: pbuild4.mcn.chs: Server validation Failed. Please register server with client. Our configuration is such that the amanda backup user on all clients is "amanda".

Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
