Use the gtar and the exclude-list option.  Add something like this to your
dumptype:

options exclude-list "/some/dir/you/choose/file_name"

In this file you must refence the directories you don't want from the
directory they live in.  For example if you have /var on a partition and
did not want to backup /var/log your exclude file would look like:

./log/*

The reason for this is the way that amanda creates the tarball.  To backup
only certain directories put all the dirs you do not want in the exclude
file.
