Did you look through the amcheck debug files that you saw in
/tmp/amanda?

Can you manually connect to the services in question? (eg telnet
localhost 10082, etc)?

Your /etc/amandahosts has localhost commented out. If you're
connecting to localhost this could be a problem. Also, my
amandahosts is in /var/backup/.amandahosts, and I'm also running
Debian. Unless
/etc/amandahosts is a symlink to /var/backup/.amandahosts, you might
 try adding your entries there.
