I think you nedd to move the closing brace to its own line, else it may 
become part of the server address path.

As it effectively says here.

FWIW, all 3 of those files can be combined into one /etc/xinetd.d/amanda 
file as follows:
---------------------------
# 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
}
--------------
Which had no good reason other than it seemed to make sense to me at the 
time.  xinetd doesn't care one way or the other.
