The other thing to check is /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}.  I don't know Gentoo, 
but on RedHat xinetd uses them.  Accepts or denies based on those files 
should be logged in /var/log/secure.

That means amanda is listening, so that part of xinetd is working right.

You can check what rules are set up with 'iptables -nL'.  I'd say the next 
thing to do would be to look at the traffic.  Do 'tcpdump -i lo' and then 
run amcheck and see what happens.
