That's not valid syntax. Using "$(cmd)" is ksh/bash only, not sh.
Either change the #! line to run ksh or bash, or change $( to ` and )
to `, e.g.:
echo "`date`: GOTCHA!!!" > /tmp/amandalog

That last line says it **is** listening on the amanda port (or someone
is). So xinetd appears to be more or less happy. It's something else
wrong that amandad is not running.
So I'll repeat one of my questions: have you gone through all of the tests
in the FAQ? This problem is very common on new installations and the FAQ
has at least two items specifically dealing with debugging what's wrong.
