what does you .amandahosts look like? I had this same problem with the server backup up itself. I ended up having to add some lines to my .amandahosts file like this:
myhost.domain.com amanda myhost.domain.com root localhost amanda localhost root I'm sure that one or two of those lines is unneccessary, but it worked so I left it.
