Using localhost will bite you a recovery time, ALWAYS USE the machine FQDN 
or its IP address.

In this case the planner will probably pick it up in the next run, it ran 
out of room on the media this time.

Again, don't use localhost, you can't use the amanda recovery tools with 
it, its a security of your data type thing.

In the /etc/xinetd.d directory you should have either a triplet of files, 
each containing a stanza of this file, or a single file that contains all 
3 verses like this:
======================
# This file is named amanda, but could be named "anything" as long as its
# in the /etc/xinetd.d directory and describes these 'services'
# default = off, eg a disable = yes if not specified.
#
# 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
}
=============================
Do you have it, and do all the "disable =" lines say no, and do the "wait 
=" lines and the "server =" lines pair up as these are?

And did I mention that you should get rid of the use of localhost?
