That is unlike any FQDN I've seen.  Generally internet names take the form
host.domain.{com|net|org|gov|...}  For example, I'm on butch.jgcomp.com.
Local aliases that resolve to FQDN's are generally ok too.  For example,
I just need "butch" or "winnie" in my disklist as they resolve to
butch.jgcomp.com or winnie.jgcomp.com.

Can you do things like ping rappelkasten.local, or telnet or ftp to it?
What about just rappelkasten?

For your PC system, I presume that system is named "rumpl" and it has
a shared directory of "lwd".  I get those from the following.

Can you do the ping of "rumpl" and maybe telnet/ftp or at least access denied.

If you have other pc's, can they share the "lwd" directory?

Can you do an /usr/bin/smbclient //rumpl/lwd -U <PC USER NAME>%<password>

I.e. independent of amanda, can you access the pc with samba.
If you can't do that, no way amanda can make it work.

Have you set up /etc/amandapass with the system/user/password info.
Does it have the proper ownership and permissions?  See docs/SAMBA.
