Chris, this is certainly the first thing to look at: note in your
amstatus output the line "network free kps: 0":


9 dumpers idle  : 0
taper status: Idle
taper qlen: 1
network free kps:         0
holding space   : 436635431k ( 50.26%)

Hmm... I missed that completely. I'll set it arbitrarily high as
Austin suggested and test it overnight.

Don't feel bad, it's not something that gets actively used by a lot of people, so most people don't really think about it. If used right though, it provides the rather neat ability to have Amanda limit it's network utilization while running backups, which is really helpful if you have to run backups during production hours for some reason.
