I'm on the AMANDA backup server (v2.6.1p2), as root, in a working dir with lots and lots of space. I was going to start by extracting some files, (that were backed up from an AMANDA client,) to my working directory on the server. I'm using vtapes if that matters.

When I run "amrecover mycfgname", there's a 30 second pause, and then this error:

 AMRECOVER Version 2.6.1p2. Contacting server on localhost ...
 [request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]

The .amandahosts file on the server has:

 localhost   root amindexd amidxtaped
 localhost amandabackup amdump
 localhost.localdomain   root amindexd amidxtaped
 localhost.localdomain amandabackup amdump

...thoughts?
