Windows Server 2003 cant execute amandad.exe via inetd

I've hit a brick wall in getting the amanda client 2.6.0 to work on windows server 2003. I used the .msi package available on zmanda.com, I can start inetd just fine, and xinetd too. But both of them fail to exectue amandad.exe. Here is the error that appears in the Windows Application logs.

Event Type: Error

Event Source: inetd

Event Category: None

Event ID: 0

Date: 4/30/2008

Time: 3:55:48 PM

User: IN-UITS-GRNOCWI\sshd_server

Computer: IN-UITS-GRNOCWI

Description:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( inetd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: inetd: PID 5032: amanda: can't set uid 1087: Permission denied.

uid 1087 is the amandabackup user, and it appears the sshd_server user cannot set uid to the amandabackup user.

Any idea how to accomplish this in windows server 2003?

Thanks,
