Are you sure about that last bit -- did you disable ipchains, which
RedHat 7.1 automatically sets up?  I found that unless I added a rule to
/etc/sysconcfig/ipchains which accepted all udp packets from a client
machine to the server, amcheck would fail in exactly the manner you are
describing.  An example rule would look like this:

-A input -p udp -s $CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS -d $SERVER_IP_ADDRESS -j ACCEPT
