Which version of amanda are you using? This sound very much like my problem 
which SEEMS to have been fixed in the upgrade from amanda-2.4.2p1 
amanda-2.4.2p2 - there was a comment in the change log about increasing the 
size of a buffer. Perhaps someone with more technical knowlege can 
confirm/refute this.
