You forgot amidxtaped
server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
You must also add an entry in .amandahosts

The following 2 services are not needed if all your client are 2.5.1.

/etc/xinit.d/amandaidx
service amandaidx

{ only_from = x.com y.com

        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = disk
        groups                  = yes

server = /usr/local/libexec/amindexd server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd

        disable                 = no
}

service amidxtape

{ only_from = x.com y.com

        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = disk
        groups                  = yes

server = /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amidxtaped

        disable                 = no
}


Any good Solution Guys? Thanks!

Also you tape device "/backup/amanda/dumps/tape01" is not correct,
it should be "file:/backup/amanda/dumps/tape01"

use: setape x.com:file:/backup/amanda/dumps/tape0
