^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's your problem. From the looks of things, /software is *not* its own
partition, and dump can only do incrementals of partitions. You'll have
to either
a) repartition to put /software in its own partition (ick), or
b) tell amanda to use tar to back up /software.
