However, as the amandabackup user, when I cd /home and then ls -lah I get a permission denied. This could be the reason the glob directive is failing, since it cannot scan the contents of that directory to put together an accurate include list for tar.

Unfortunately, each /home/username is owned by username:username as the UID:GID. It now looks like I need to figure out a way to get the amandabackup user access via a groupID.

Try the amgtar application, it should do the glob expansion as root.
Put the following in the dumptype:

  program "APPLICATION"
  application {
    plugin "amgtar"
  }
