Forget about the .amandahosts file for now, you're not getting that far.
Try restarting xinetd, either a stop/start or kill -USR2. Sending a HUP
just makes xinetd write a state file and doesn't reread its config.
Make sure the amanda line is in /etc/services.
Also check /tmp/amanda/selfcheck.*.debug for errors.
