Brilliant!!
That was all it was, I added "groups = yes" and restarted xinetd and it's
working fine. Many thanks to you and to David for taking the time to help me
out!

In addition to the good ideas David gave, are you using inetd to run
amandad, or are you using xinetd? If xinetd, do you have "groups = yes"
in the config file so the alternate groups for "amanda" are initialized
by xinetd?
If you change this, make sure you do whatever magic it is to xinetd to
get it to reread the config file.
