try running 'ntsysv' and double checking that 'amanda' and 'xinetd' are
both selected, restart xinetd '/sbin/service xinetd restart'
check for /etc/xinetd/amanda.rpmnew files
IIRC, xinetd also uses tcpwrappers. check /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
double check forward and reverse DNS match up ( this one caught me once)
