Before you try working with amdump, you should use amcheck. It does
a better job of diagnosing problems. Also, if it's not happy, you can
bet amdump will be even less so.
In your case, use the "-c" option to just do the client checks, since
that's what's failing. You don't need to waste time doing the server
checks, in particular the tape ones. I usually use "-cl" which does
everything but the tape checks.
Here are the FAQ items of interest to what amcheck will probably say:

Have you gone through all the items they mention?
