:-) :-)

The things you're running into are among the most common initial
problems.  Don't despair.

Since they are so common, they are even documented in the FAQ :-).
Have you read and tried all the steps documented here:

In addition to the above, have you tried all the tricks we talked
about yesterday (the shell script and truss)?

There is no difference as far as Amanda is concerned.  It still makes a
network connection (even though it's through the local host interface).
In particular this means inetd has to be set up right, which is the most
common source of trouble.
