Your missing "groups = yes", which will run amandad in all the groups
you have it associated with in /etc/groups, not just the primary group
in /etc/passwd.  My guess is you tried to give access to the devices
(and /etc/dumpdates) by group membership, which is perfectly reasonable,
but the xinetd folks screwed you up.
