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.
