I have tried several configuration changes and still end up w/ the same
problem.  After each change I have returned to the original
configuration to try and keep things in order.

I'm still getting the same error about "quoted string ...." 

I have stripped the ~etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf file to only the
actual configuration keywords and options.  I still get the similar
response reporting the first line of configuration data from the file.

Is there a utility that I can run on the client to see if the config
file is being read correctly?  I'd like to narrow down the problem.
Since I have the host server running w/ a different client (not SCO),
I'd like to focus on the client platform to start with.

Thank you,

Michael R_
