In the server's (missie) ~amanda/.amandahosts you need:

grumpy.doamin.com       root

The [access as X not allowed from  Y@Z] message is telling you how
Amanda is actually trying to be authenticated, so just put whatever
shows as Y and Z in the message in the .amandahosts file in the
reverse order like so:

Z       Y
