I don't know that I'll be much help because I don't know anything
about firewalls, however ...

Are you saying you have to list the individual entries in /Local/Users
to get Amanda to work? Why? In other words, what does it do wrong if
you do not list them?
If you are listing them, are you also dumping /Local itself? Is it a
separate file system from /Local/Users such that it will not descend
into the same areas you're backing up individually, thus trying to dump
them twice? Or are you using an exclusion list to keep it out?

Interesting you should have that particular combination. Both have had
problems reported recently with solutions.
For Mac OS, Kevin Myer posted just yesterday that trying to use client
side compression worked very badly. Are you trying to use client side
compression? What happens if you either turn it off or switch to server
side (at least to test)?
If you're trying to use exclusion lists with glibc, there is a known bug
echoed by John Goerzen on this list Saturday along with the GNU tar fix
to work around it.
Other than those things, I can only guess something is wrong with the
firewall configuration that's not allowing the connection to stay open
long enough (tens of minutes to hours) for Amanda to do what it needs.
For that you'll have to ask someone who knows about that software.
