I don't run any firewalls, so this is just guesswork.
Amanda uses (at least?) three TCP (PROTO=6) ports per backup. If you
have maxdumps set higher than one, it will need "maxdumps * 3" ports,
so your --with-portrange limits may not be big enough.
Note that maxdumps is a dumptype specific parameter as well as a global
one, so you can set the value lower for the clients that go through the
firewall and leave it higher for those inside.
I've added quite a bit more debugging in the most recent 2.4.2* CVS
sources, if you want to get them and track what's going on.
