With the help of John Reuning, I was able to narrow down the problem to an NIS issue. It turned out that turning off ypbind allowed Amanda to run. This led me to check the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, and change both services and protocols to "files". Even though those two options weren't specfically pointing to "nis files" beforehand, that seemed to be what they were defaulting to. After forcing them to go to files first, restarting ypbind, restarting xinetd, Amanda finally runs without any problems! Thanks John, and I hope this little tidbit of info helps expand the UNC Linux knowledge base out there!
