Did you do the following:

1.  Edit /etc/inetd.conf adding the appropriate amanda entry and restart inetd?
2.  Edit /etc/services  adding the appropriate amanda ports?
3.  Create an amanda user and group for the Amanda process to run under?
4.  Make the amanda user part of a group that can read the disk 
devices?  ex.  operator?
5.  If using  .amandahosts  security, did you create the file 
".amandahosts" under the amanda user's home directory with the correct 
entry, something like:
         johncoop.com            amanda
6.  What about a holding disk for the backups?  Are you using one?  Didn't 
see it in the amanda config.

I would strongly suggest subscribing to the amanda user list, it's 
extremely helpful.  Get more info at <http://www.amanda.org>.  By the way, 
version 2.4.2p2 has been released.
