AMANDA: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK

[ATC]

Dropping a new backup target running CentOS 5.2 into an existing AMANDA environment, I have installed amanda-client. When running 'amcheck DailySet1' on the AMANDA server, I get the following error:

"selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK"

On the new backup target, do the following:
1. "su - amanda"
2. edit ".amandahosts" like so (replacing amserver.domain.com with the proper FQHN):
localhost amanda
localhost.localdomain amanda
amserver amanda
amserver.domain.com amserver
3. "exit"
4. Use "ntsysv" to enable the "amanda" service (client)
5. "service xinetd reload" to make the change effective immediately
6. Now try "amcheck" again, if you're not using anything fancy like encryption or firewalls it should work.
