Nice idea :-)

No, "diskdev" is the harddisk (sig!) on the client that you want to
backup. Ex. if you have 2 disks on client1 there are 2 entries:
client1 /mountpoint1/of/disk1 dumptype
client1 /mountpoint2/of/disk2 dumptype

And possibly lots more for other clients.
The tape device is set in your amanda.conf file and that's the only place
where it is needed.
