amanda calls tar with the --one-file-system flag, so that tar behaves 
like a "normal" *nix dump program and stays within a partition.  Look at 
the output of 'df -k', e.g.:

[jlb@chaos jlb]$ df -k

Using your disklist entry, I'd only backup the first 250MB partition.

If this isn't the issue, then it's probably permissions.  Make sure that 
you did 'make install' as root, as some binaries need to be setuid.
