I remember stumbling across this years ago and I seem to recall it was a 
problem with inetd and tcp wrappers where the tcp wrapper was bouncing the 
connection and amanda would keep trying it, thus the looping error.  But, 
that was a long time ago, at my previous job, and the grey matter is fuzzy at 
best ;)
