xinetd defaults to prevent the amanda ports from being used. You can edit the
appropriate files in /etc/xinetd.d and restart the daemon.
And, there's the aforementioned .amandahosts to configure. ;)

This says sunny3 would not let user "amanda" in from sunny1. First,
make sure this line is file ".amandahosts" in directory ~amanda (the
home directory of user "amanda") on sunny3:
sunny1.neptune.com amanda
Next, make sure the file is owned by "amanda" and that it is mode 0600
or 0400.
Then make sure all the directories down to the file allow read/execute
for user Amanda or a group it is a member of (or everything). One way
to do that is run this as root on sunny3:
# su amanda "cat ~amanda/.amandahosts"
Next, take a look at an amandad*debug file after doing an amcheck (use
the "-c" option to just do the client checks) and see what it has to say.
And while you're at it, see if the access time on ~amanda/.amandahosts
on sunny3 is being updated with "ls -lu".
