Eventually found the problem after running strace amrecover which indicated that it was refused connection to port 10082 (amandaidx). On closer inspection I found that amandaidx (/etc/xinetd.d/amandaidx) was actually disabled and this led to my problems.
Moral of the story check your configs again and again. :)

This sound like your inetd isn't started. Otherwise you would get a message like "Access from [EMAIL PROTECTED] not allowed"... Or did you play with your firewall/hosts.(allow|deny) files?
