Try /dev/nrsa0, it's the no rewind device under FreeBSD.

No, but it could be your entry in /etc/inetd.conf. Mine looks like this:

# Amanda backup client
amandaidx stream tcp    nowait  amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amindexd 
amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp    nowait  amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amidxtaped 
amidxtaped
amanda dgram udp        wait    amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad

I installed Amanda server whith this command:
portupgrade -Nm "-DWITHOUT_GNUTAR AMANDA_CONFIG=DLT AMANDA_USER=amanda 
AMANDA_GROUP=operator" amanda-server

And the clients like this:
portupgrade -Nm "-DWITHOUT_GNUTAR AMANDA_CONFIG=DLT AMANDA_USER=operator 
AMANDA_GROUP=operator AMANDA_SERVER=your.backup.server" amanda-client

With /this in /etc/inetd.conf:
amanda dgram udp        wait    operator /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad 
amandad
