  Yeah, I was tired of the RPM nonsense. I wrote a script that rebuilds all 
updates every weekend and emails the results. It's worked very nicely thus 
far.

  Okay, I seem to have pin-pointed it. I fixed the lines "only_from=hostname" 
in the xinetd config file for Amanda. What I think probably happened is that 
my server resolves to more than one name (recent change in departments here 
at the University), and xinetd was getting the one I hadn't specified. So, I 
changed the line to the IP address of the host, instead of its hostname, and 
it's much happier now.
