It's on the TODO list to detect this. Now if I could just figure out

What version of GNU tar are you using? If it's not at least 1.13.17
(and probably 1.13.19 would be better), you should upgrade.
Did Amanda do a full dump (level 0) or an incremental (level > 0)?

No. Those are just informational messages from amcheck. Those
directories will be automatically created for you by amdump (et al).
