This is to be expected since amanda will not re-use a tape until
tapecycle (see your amanda.conf) tapes have been used.

Well, from this, I'm not sure which of two errors you have. The
first would be an invalid .amandahosts file, and the second would
be related to xinetd being fed bad scripts.
Clip this and put it in your /etc/xinetd.d directory, modifying ONLY
the usernames and paths if these aren't correct for your system.

You can also break this into the 3 files if you'd like, but xinetd
couldn't care less.
Also if you're not aware of it, there was a new xinetd made
available yesterday, version 2.3.11, fixes a security hole in the
DDOS category. Run up2date, or drag it down with gftp from
updates.redhat.com. They may have the freebie accounts disabled,
but gftp can get it just fine.
