Check the ReleaseNotes:
* The default auth is changed to "bsdtcp", if you are using the default
bsd then you must add it to your configuration.
o in amanda.conf
o in amanda-client.conf
o in dumptype/disklist
o in xinetd (if no '-auth' argument to amandad)
As you are still using BSD, you must update your dumptype to specify it.
Or better, fix your xinetd for bsdtcp.

Is there a URL for instructions on how to do this?
man amanda-auth
And, will it affect my ability to recover from backups made using the
present .amandahosts way?
In other words, are these changes backwards compatible?
It change the authentication and transport mechanism, that's all, your
data are still on tape and recoverable.
