Found something else in the archives (yes, I do look them up ;-) ):

Recheck your /etc/xinetd.d-entries for the amanda-relevant files, and
also recheck the "server = ... " lines for proper paths.

Maybe you have installed the new binaries to another path and missed to
adjust the xinetd-files.

Also check the "also_from = ..." lines for proper setup.

No need to say you need to restart xinetd after any changes...
