What happens?  Do you still get the "data timeout"?

That message means the server side of Amanda waited around for half
an hour (unless you changed dtimeout) and didn't hear anything from
the client.  That can't be a good thing.

I also note from your previous debug files that the tar process does not
appear to have completed, which also can't be good.  Is it still running
(pid 7742, or 7739, or some child of one of them)?  Is it hung in some
bad state?  For instance, if it's in 'D' state, that means the kernel
has locked up on that process and it's reboot time (not to mention time
to talk to your OS folks).

The "bind_portrange: port 960: Permission denied" is "normal" -- ignore
it.  That same routine (bind_portrange) is used for both privileged and
non-privileged calls.  It tries for a privileged port first, complains
that it could not get one (duh) then tries for non-privileged.

I knew that message would cause trouble when I put it in.  Sigh.  I've
removed it from 2.4.3.
