Forgot to mention, I looked through some old reports, from last month when I was setting up a FC4 installation. Early on there were some "too many dumper retry" messages. When it happened all DLE for that host had same report. It was a connectivity problem, firewall (check both client and server), inetd not started, bad entry in .amandahosts, ...
