hi raymond,
i had the same problem as you because i named the config file in the
/etc/xinet.d directory amanda, and not amandad. my config looks
practically the same as yours, and i've noticed that if i have a failure
with amanda (2.4.2) on my redhat 7.0 box that clearing the /tmp/amanda
directory and them giving an /etc/init.d/xinetd restart command usually
clears things up.
hope that helps,
w
