Ah - problem solved. On amanda230 all that is required is the .rhosts. On 240p1 (and depending on the build options) the .amandahosts file is consulted instead. I used the stock port for amanda24, and it apparently compiles with the options to IGNORE .rhosts, and only uses .amandahosts. I was re-reading the man page on amanda and noticed the second part of the phrase I missed before - ".... allow access from the tape server host as this user via .rhosts or .amandahosts" and then the part I just noticed "depending on how the Amanda software was built". Adding my backup host AND userid to .amandahosts fixed the problem. Thanks so much for everyone who offered suggestions!
