Do you still have the default "disable=yes" in the 
/etc/xinetd.d/amanda and such files?  Change it to =no in all three 
sections or all 3 files, like this:

/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
}
-------------------
modify the paths to match your install if they are different of 
course.  Also the user and group if required.  This is the more or 
less default install when done from a tarball.
