ERROR: theserver: [access as bin not allowed from root@theserver]

Chris Karakas was close, but not quite right.  Your .amandahosts file
must contain:

  theserver root

since that's who is trying to connect, not "bin".

Of course, one could wonder why root is trying to connect.  Did you
forget and run amcheck as root instead of bin?  If so, you need to
do what Chris said and put:

  theserver bin

in the file.  You should also make sure it is owned by "bin" and mode
0400 or 0600.

  * amanda is compiled with the "--with-amandahosts" flag
 
  * my amanda user is 'bin' ('disk' group),
 
  * the ~bin/.amandahosts file contains

This line must be:

theserver bin

and not just

theserver
