This has come up a few times recently. The docs/SAMBA file has recently
been updated, and I'll see if I can't beef up "the chapter", too.

Yes. The disklist entry will look like this on lagoon:
tamar //prion-pc/some-share-name some-dumptype
This tells Amanda to connect to tamar and run amandad/sendbackup, who
in turn will run smbclient to back up //prion-pc/some-share-name.
