Resolved!
Pretty simple, actually. I wasn't finding anything in Amanda's debug logs. But I found the clue in
auth.log. The connection was getting dropped, because the key, although correct, was not from a
permitted host. It then listed the name and address of the NAT as the source. So, I just added that
to Amanda's .ssh/authorized_keys on the client, and everything works.

bsd auth will not works if the server is behind a NAT.
bsdtcp auth should works.

I’m at v3.3.3 on my server and have a couple of clients at 2.5.0p2. They work fine, with
auth=bsd. I haven’t tried auth=ssh.

I've been having a bit of trouble adding a client today and just wanted to get a reality check
before I bang my head too much.
My new server with Amanda 3.3.6 is temporarily on a private address inside our department NAT. I
was just trying today to add a 2.5.3 client that is in another department on a public address. I
can ssh to it, and I am using auth=ssh. I've got the keys set up. One thing I noticed is that
the key was specifying /usr/local/libexec/amandad, but the newer Amanda was calling for
/usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad. I tried working around that by creating the directory on the
client and symlinking all the executables into the directory. After that, I at least was getting
debug files on the client (before it had been nothing).
Am I going to be able to get this working? Or is it an insurmountable problem to be on a private
address behind the NAT?
It seems from http://wiki.zmanda.com/man/amanda-compatibility.7.html that the versions ought not
to be an issue, but I don't know what other things besides the amanda directory in libexec might
be getting tangled up between the older Amanda and the newest Amanda.
At the moment, I'm still getting "selfcheck request failed: EOF on read".
