If you are saying this is what does not function, no it doesn't.
It isn't supposed to. So it is not a question of "not functioning"
but of "not designed to do this".
If you want the backup of one filesystem to go to
more than one tape, you have to change your dumptype.
In the sample amanda.config file, there are dumptypes
labelled "xxxx-tar". In your disks configuration file,
make sure you use a dumptype of xxxx-tar for this
disk. That way, it should use tar to do the backup,
and not dump.
Also, you would specify a sub-directory on the filesystem,
not the top of the disk-tree. Pick a sub-directory which
will fit onto one tape. Make another xxx-tar entry
for the next sub-directory. And so on.
Clearer?
