Have you converted this config from a real tape drive to disk-based? it is only looking for a virtual file tape. i have had it working before and it got changed somewhere while i was trying to get the samba stuff to work.

I do not know if thats because its such a moving target, or if doing the correct write things requires using something patented by M$. However, I'd investigate the latest cifs, aka samba stuff, and see if a bridge could be built using it. Make sure you are using the latest cifs release on the NT box, and the latest samba 3.0something on the amanda server. That might have a chance of working. There is also another group whose name escapes me ATM, who have had some success getting amanda as a client to work on windows boxes, so you might want to investigate that route too.
Re: NT backup
I think im using the amanda win32 because i could get samba to see the files of the MS box but not back them up. so, i moved on the try the win32. do i need to use samba and win32 together? or just one over the other? and if so which is better?
