Nope.  No ideas....

How about some basics:

I assume at this point that your backups work EXCEPT for the
tapehost?

I also assume that your tapehost is set up correctly
(/etc/services, for example) and that you have the appropriate
debian packages loaded (amanda-client, amanda-common, &
amanda-server - I think).

Just some random thoughts.  Maybe they will spark something on
your part.

HTH,

I don't speak for Goodyear and they don't speak for me.  We're both happy.
