If, as you indicate, backups were working fine for a while,
then I would guess a change has been made to your network
configuration on client or server.  Perhaps the indicated
ports (33829 ...) are not allowed.

For more info about amanda's usage of network ports see
the document /docs/PORT.USAGE.

My tests have always shown similar results.
I wish we could do comprss-default (no -level option),
which is the same as -6, and get nearly the same compression
as -9 but with far less cpu.
