I'm not sure what you mean by "amanda uses the default".
Are you using the system dump program or GNU tar for these disks? Is
hda6 (in some form :-) listed in /etc/fstab?
What happens here is Amanda takes any of three forms in the disklist file
(/some/mount/point, hda6 or /dev/hda6) and converts that into whatever
is needed. For dump it is the disk name (/dev/hda6). For GNU tar it
would be the mount point. I'm guessing something is going wrong with
that conversion.

If you're running a new version of Linux that uses /proc/mounts in
preference to /etc/fstab, you'll have to get a recent version of Amanda
to get the patches that make it aware of that.
And unless you just happen to see the problem, to debug this much further
you'll have to be able to regenerate some form of client side software,
either what you're running or go ahead and get 2.4.2p1 and try it again.
The first thing I'd do is:
cd client-src
make getfsent
./getfsent hda6
That will try several standard Amanda conversions plus the one(s) you
put on the command line and log the results.
