I had a these same messages in my logs.  It turns out that my xinetd
defaults to allowing access only from the local host.  After I added the
following line to my /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file, everything worked fine:

only_from       = 172.16.128.151

Where 172.16.128.151 is the IP of my Amanda Server.
