I thought the spindle number was used for the opposite purpose.
I.e. parallel backup was allowed unless restricted by spindle #.

   spindle
      Default:  -1.  A number used to balance backup load  on a
      host.   Amanda  will not run multiple backups at the same
      time on  the  same  spindle,  unless  the  spindle number
      is -1, which means there is no spindle restriction.
