Check your system logs to see if there are any errors from (x)inetd. Also, you might want to run something like tcpdump on the client and see if the server is trying to connect to it. If you see the server trying to connect but you still see nothing on the client (nothing in /tmp/amanda), then you may either have a problem with (x)inetd, hosts.allow/hosts.deny, or some firewall rules. You might also want to make sure the Amanda user has permissions to write in /tmp/amanda. You may have created the directory as root and it might not have the correct permissions. Frank
