        For comparison, Jeff, here's my /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file.  Note the
key line disable=no; I wonder if this is the root of your trouble?  My
system is RedHat 7.3.


[gordonp@oilslick gordonp]$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/amanda
# default: off
# description:  The client for the Amanda backup system.\
#               This must be on for systems being backed up\
#               by Amanda.
service amanda
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = backup
        server                  = /usr/local/libexec/amandad 
}
