Issue solved
Closure
I replaced the motherboard with a A8N32-sli model. This board offers two full 16 pci-express lanes.
I replaced the scsi controller with an Adaptec AHA-2940U2 (ultra2) model
I do not know - or care - which of these two interventions solved my problem, but solved it is.
The Amanda backup process works like a charm again.
Finally.
Thanks to all who reponded.

AIC(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual AIC(4)
NAME
aic -- Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
device aic
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.aic.0.at="isa"
DESCRIPTION
The aic driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI controller chips. Many systems that use these controller chips do
not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.
HARDWARE
The adapters supported by the aic driver include:
o Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
o Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card)
o Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P (PC98)
o NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98)
SEE ALSO
aha(4), ahb(4), ahc(4), cd(4), ch(4), da(4), intro(4), sa(4)
BUGS
The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the SCSI bus. The driver works well with devices like CDROMs and Tape drives. The
driver works not so well with disk drives. The PC Card version appears to work better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differing
levels of testing of the devices.
