I'm not familiar with FreeNAS per-se, but off hand doing a direct
FreeBSD backup seems more robust than running the Amanda Windows client
(since the NAS's raw files are stored in a Unix filesystem to start with).
You are running amanda-client directly on the NAS, right? What version
of Amanda is it?
If you post the "disklist"-file entry and corresponding dumptype
definition(s) from amanda.conf, plus the exact log messages (and name of
the log file in question) where you are seeing the errors, that info
help narrow down what's going wrong....
