BTW, your E-mail address to reply to is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but that
seems to be bouncing:

You might want to get that fixed.

You cannot use dump to back up a subdirectory of a file system with
Amanda.  You must use GNU tar.  See the "program" directive in the
"dumptype" section of amanda.conf (or pick one of the dumptypes already
set up to use GNU tar).  Make sure you have either GNU tar 1.12 plus
the Amanda patches, or at least 1.13.17 (1.13.19 is probably even better).
