Right, that's not the problem.

OK, I replaced localhost with the real hostname, checked
~amanda/.amandahosts and still get the same result. Here is what I think
is the problem:
[amandad debug file]
got packet:
--------

amandad: sending REP packet:

It looks like amandad doesn't know the server's IP address. Both client
and server run on the same machine and the machine knows its hostname.
Any more ideas?
Thanks, Carsten
