I've no idea what you are saying above but please compare this file 
from my /etc/xinetd.d/amanda with yours
----file /etc/xinetd.d/amanda:
# default = off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
# This is the list of daemons & such it needs
service amanda
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = dgram
        protocol        = udp
        wait            = yes
        user            = amanda
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
}
service amandaidx
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amanda
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/local/libexec/amindexd
}
service amidxtape
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amanda
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
}

-----EOF /etc/xinetd.d/amanda-----
with whatever you have there.  Note this is all one file, xinetd 
doesn't care if its one or three as long as all three entries are 
there.

man amrecover?  Also, if you are using "localhost" anyplace instead of 
a FQDN, I think you just got bit.  It works for backups (I wish it 
didn't, more people would get the message before its too late) but 
does not work very often for recovery's.
