Thanks for the reply! All help is greatly appreciated!
I have checked both the server and client machines for the services. They
are auto starting. I have even restarted xinetd.
As far as the RPM updates, Amanda was not one of them so the amanda.rpmnew
file did not exist.
I don't think it is tcp wrappers. It was working once for a few months. I
did check the files and they were empty with the exception of the notes.
I did an nslookup from both machines and was able to find by IP and by name.
Thanks again for pitching in!

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)
