Does not sound like a wrong .amandahosts ...

More details (maybe you posted them earlier ..? ):

What is your Amanda-server's fqdn?
What's the fqdn of the client?

Run "amadmin <conf> version" and look for something like :

CONFIGURE_COMMAND="'./configure' '--with-user=amanda'
'--with-group=disk' [...]

This way you find out the user and the group it was compiled with/for.
