Thanks for taking an interest, Stefan; that's what I thought, too. I wish it
were that simple. Maybe I'm missing something, but what is wrong with this
(3 seperate files, each with the same name as the service):

#default: on
# description: The amanda index service
service amandaidx
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = backup
        group           = backup
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
}

Oh, and all those paths are valid.

And (x)inetd was restarted?

Show "ls -l /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd", is it executable, who is the owner?
