when this has happened to me, i find that a /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet
restart command usually sets things correctly.  run amcheck before and
after to make sure it has been fixed.  somehow the amandad stops
accepting connections if there is a failure.  reseting inet has worked
for me.

also, i have deleted the /tmp/amanda directory and then reset inet in
extreme cases.

hope that helps,
