Just a suggestion... Try adding 'includedir /path/to/xinetd.d' to the bottom of the xinetd.conf file. According to the man page for xinetd.conf, includedir tells xinetd where your service config files are located.
Here's my /etc/xinetd.conf:
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv info
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
disabled = swat ftp telnet
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
