planner is an internal part of AMANDA, like driver or taper. IIRC, planner
is responsible for picking the level of backup to be performed for each
entry in the disklist.
Here are a couple of things that might help:
1. If /var/log and /etc are really disk partitions, try backing them up by
partition name instead of mount point. (Maybe /dev/hda6 instead of /etc if
you're using Linux.)
2. Make sure that the amanda user has the right permissions on the raw
device if you're using dump or one of its siblings.
3. If /var/log and /etc aren't disk partitions, and are just parts of one
(maybe mounted at /), make sure you're using tar to back them up instead of
dump. Checking this will involve tracing parameter inheritance through your
dumptypes in amanda.conf.
Good Luck.

These dumps were to tape DailySet1-000.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
