Both server and client are on the same machine, a normal backup is going without any problem. As amrecover said, everything is "localhost" :-)
I found this note in the FAQ: http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/173.html I tried all in there, I can ping to and from localhost :-) and nslookup tell me, that localhost is really 127.0.0.1 and vice versa :-) Because a normal backup is working, I think that access-rights and so on must be correct.
You didn't try enough: The FAQ says:
CAUSE: In UNIX / Windows mixed environments could happen that the DNS and WINS become misaligned. If this happens, the Reverse Lookup that Amanda Server performs at every Client connection simply fails and the connection does not establish returning the error "Unexpected server end of file".
Your localhost is actually called "schatten", and I guess that a dns lookup of "schatten" does not result in "localhost", nor in 127.0.0.1.
Don't use "localhost" in disklist. It will bit you. If you don't believe me, just just got bitten...
