Roger, I am relatively new to Amanda, but I think I might be able to point you in the right direction. If you look in /tmp/amanda on lexus you should find a series of ".debug" files. You will know them when you see them. These are log files that the client keeps and are really handy when something like this pops up.
When I am having trouble, I generally move (do not delete) any existing *.debug files to a temporary directory and then run an 'amcheck <config>'. This will generate new *.debug files to read and check for problems. If there are no clues there, then I would look at the older logs. It sounds to me, just based on the report you attached that the client on lexus is just misconfigured. In order for anyone from the list to effectively help you, we will need some additional information. The following questions are a start: Did you install the client software from a pre-compiled 'packaged' file or did you compile from sources? What is the OS of the client (and server, presumably)? What sort of dumps are you running (tar, dump, etc)? Please remember to attach a representative sample of the /tmp/amanda/*.debug logs as well. Best of luck!
