Do you have entries in inetd.conf (or xinetd if you are using that) for
the amandaidx and amidxtape services?  And did you remember to restart
(x)inetd after adding them?  Also check to see there is anything in
your system logs about errors starting those processes.
   There's also the chance you have paranoid settings in your hosts.allow
and hosts.denied files.
