So you're saying that it *was* working, and now it isn't.  And, let me 
guess, you didn't touch anything, right?  ;)

That's normal when starting amandad by hand -- it waits for messages from 
the tape server and, when it doesn't get any, times out.

The question is what's in the amandad*debug (it if exists) from the time 
at which the backup failed (find it via the timestamps).  Do these hosts 
still pass amcheck?
