You must authorize a client to do its own backup.
$ man amanda.conf
dump-limit [ server | same-host ]*
Default: server. Specify which host can initiate a backup of the
dle. With server, the server can initiate a backup with the
amdump
command. With same-host, the client can initiate a backup
with the
amdump_client command.
The attached patch fix the warning.

to be successful but nothing is backed up and the report I'm emailed
says "planner: FATAL no DLE to backup" but I don't know what's causing
that.
There is the following warning in the client-side log, but I'm not
sure if it's related.
amdump_client: warning: Argument "DISK /var added\n" isn't numeric in

Darin,
The 'amservice' binary must set suid root.

Is there any documentation on using amdump_client? Nothing comes up
when searching the wiki other than mentions in release notes and the
man page isn't proving very helpful.
I've configured amdumpd on the server, per
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amdumpd_protocol, and added my client
to .amandahosts on the server so it can connect. Whenever I run
amdump_client from the client as amanda, see amanda-client.conf below,
it fails with permission denied when attempting to bind to the local
ports, which are under 1024. Yet, when i try and run the program as
root it fails because I'm not amanda.
I'm stuck in a loop, what am I missing?
