Got that already

Not using dump, tar-1.22 instead

Not using tape

backup user on the server is amanda, but neither client machine even has
an amanda (or backup) user. Presumably its backup:backup on the clients.
The /var/backups/.amandahosts files were different, so I made the failing
machine match the working machines version, no change, made the one in
/etc match, again no change. Neither file had amindexd listed, added that
to each, one at a time, no change.

as root: su amanda -c "amdump Daily --no-taper lathe /home"
returns no error in about 1 full second.
