You need amandaidx and amidxtape entries on the server in order
to restore. Note that they are 'stream tcp nowait' services as
opposed to the 'dgram udp wait' used for the amanda entry.  All
the clients need is the single amanda entry.
   You also need an entry in .amandahosts on the server of the form
client.domain.com       root
in order to allow root on the client to connect to the server and
restore files.
