My impression is that the GNUTAR program is considered obsolete, superceeded by the (more flexible) amgtar application plugin. Since you are setting up a new server should consider making the switch now as part of your new setup.... In any case, one fairly easy debugging step is to create an amgtar-based dumptype and try that out instead of "simple-gnutar-local". (For what it's worth, I am in the process of setting up a new Amanda 3.4.x server, and haven't had any hang when backing up my / partition even though it has a number of filesystems mounted under it. I haven't tried a scenario where the mounted filesystem was vfat, though.)
