I'm not a real linux guy; but, this being 4th July weekend in the U.S.,
the list may be a bit slower to respond, so I'll jump in.
The error you are getting is fairly common for people setting up Amanda.
It is covered in a couple of places in the troubleshooting FAQ:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Troubleshooting
You could also google "amrecover ubuntu request failed timeout waiting
for ACK" (or leave out ubuntu for a broader sweep), and you will see a
number of threads with some details. Look for some of the answers posted
by Gene Heskett, for example, or what people said when they posted that
they had solved the problem.
amrecover is running in the opposite direction (starting from the
client) compared amdump and amcheck. You should check to see that you
set up amanda-client.conf on the clients and .amandahosts on the server
for starters.
If you still have problems after looking through some of that, post a
little more detail on your configuration, and when someone else comes
along on the list, they will have that to work with.
