I'm not using amgtar, I'm using gnutar. Not sure if that matters.

Interesting.
So this seems to have worked for the backup (only one slash)
newlaptop.local.net /home/hymie/2 /home/hymie {
simple-gnutar-remote
include "./z*"
}
despite the documentation saying that the "diskdevice" must be a mount
point (it isn't anymore).
Recovery appears to work too, although I have to make sure that I use the
correct "setdisk" command.
Thank you -- you may have solved my problem.
