Yes -- to over-simplify a bit, Amanda waits for all the estimates from a
particular machine to complete before proceeding with any dumps from
that machine...

Can you go back and see how long the estimate was taking before the
16th?
If it was nowhere near 6 hours, then probably something suddenly made it
stop working (e.g. a hung NFS mount, as Joi mentioned).
If it was just a few minutes under 6 hours, then maybe the file count
just grew enough that it tipped over the estimate timeout, in which case
bumping the timeout in the config might be enough to get things working
again with the minium of changes. (However, 6 hours seems like a long
time to be waiting for the estimate phase, so switching to a different
estimate method might make sense in terms of speeding your overall
run....)
