When I try to backup a single file with Amanda it fails stating

it is not a directory. I've seen examples of single file
backups, so
I'm sure it's possible. Is there something I need to specify in
the
DLE or DUMPTYPE to allow this to succeed?

Thank you. I am somewhat new to this. Could you be a little more
specific. Is this a dumptype entry?

A little of both, dumptype and DLE. Dumptypes are named and reusable
in multiple DLEs. So if you were backing up audio files from multiple
locations you might define a dumptype as:
define dumptype AUDIO {
user-tar
include list append "./*.mp3"
}
and make several DLEs using the AUDIO dumptype.
An alternative in the disklist file is to use the {...} syntax,
to customize a DLE with various dumptype properties. That is
what Jean-Francois was suggesting.
When you do this you create a unique, unnamed dumptype. As it
has no name, that new dumptype can not be used by other DLEs.
