Two possibilities come to mind:
        a.) Something in the service definition for svc:/network/amanda/udp
                is broken.  Check and compare the output from running
                inetadm -l against the three services.

        b.) You've discovered a bug in the new inetd implementation.
                Follow the instructions in the URL above and chase it
                down with Sun.

If this: <http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=24302> is you, then
I don't see anything obvious wrong with the service definition.
