[Openvpn-users] Need help with amanda client on a VPN

[OpenVPN User <openvpn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had a laptop that I backup up using Amanda via the laptop's
wireless interface.  Previously, my access point was on the same
Ethernet as my amanda server and I just used WPA for wireless
encryption.

Recently However, I have decided to make my wireless network open.  I
put it on another network, turned off WPA and now use OpenVPN to connect
to my private network.

OpenVPN seems to work fine.  I can connect to/from my laptop.  It all
goes through the tun  interfaces and I have iptables firewall rules to
enable openvpn traffic to the p-t-p connection.

When I run "amcheck -c" on the server.  I get a successful check.  My
firewall logs show the udp packets sent out to the laptop were ACCEPTed.
But after the amcheck i run amdump and I consistently get "connection
timed out" when getting estimates from my laptop.  The thing is, I can
see the connection being made through my firewall logs just as with
amcheck, but the hard drive lights on my laptop never go on.  I have the
ip connection tracking module for amanda loaded on the firewall.  I
don't see anything on the firewall indicating that packets were being
REJECTed and the amanda logs (both client and server) leave no clues.

Has anyone been able to back up an amanda client through openvpn?  If so
can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
