That's a relief...I was feeling rather inadequate....
I digress..... No amandad debug file (since the access time hasn't changed that would be expected....right???) and nothing in /var/adm/messages as well I was concerened with the issue of access problems (from a previoous thread) and tried running amandad as root...same outcome...... I can invoke the amandad by hand it timesout after 30 seconds (as expected) and it creates the debug file with the expected contents of a happy daemon.
