Uh, oh. That definitely matters.
When Amanda runs something on a client, it asks the client to start
amandad from inetd. Only one copy of amandad may be running at at time.
The server side looks at the host name and knows better than to ask the
same host more than once. But you "lied" to Amanda and it thinks those
are separate hosts, so probably tried to start them all up. One of them
"won" and the others failed. But it would be highly timing dependent
exactly what the results were.
