They would be on the server in /tmp/amanda. Or, more correctly, they
would be wherever this points:
amadmin xx version | grep AMANDA_DBGDIR

No, the problem is definitly with dumper. It should *never* quit like
that. When it died, that propogated back to the client as the pipe error.
Do I recall that you installed an RPM for this rather than building
from source? To debug this we're going to have to get the source built
on your system so we can attach a debugger to it.
Actually, we might be able to take a guess or two first. Run amdump
in one window. In another window (as root), do this in your logdir
(amgetconf <config> logdir) directory:
grep 'started dumper0 pid' amdump
Start a debugger on the dumper executable (as root) and that pid. Let
it run ("cont") then wait for it to crash and get a backtrace.
