That's the right guess. Amcheck (actually, selfcheck) does not run as
root so cannot get there. The actual backup will run GNU tar as root
(under runtar) and so should be OK.
I don't know of any good solution to this problem.

That only applies to using "dump". Device access permissions are
irrelevant when using GNU tar.
