This error is misleading. You're trying to run 'dump' on /etc, which is
not a filesystem -- dump only works (well, incrementals only work) on an
entire filesystem. Generally amanda will complain about that, but I think
the software RAID may be throwing it off.
In any case, you need to use tar rather than dump to backup a
subdirectory. Give that a shot.
