Well, there are a couple of different authentication schemes supported 
by amanda.  these are set up at compile time... here are the configure 
options:

  --with-bsd-security    use BSD rsh/rlogin style security
  --with-amandahosts     use .amandahosts instead of .rhosts
  --with-krb4-security=DIR   Location of Kerberos software [/usr/kerberos /usr/cygnus /usr /opt/kerberos]

if you're using bsd security then you need to have .rhosts set up
appropriately for user amanda (and need to have rsh enabled in
inetd.conf, and tcp_wrappers if you use those)... and so on.
