What OS and OS version is the client, and what version of amanda?  Also, 
as someone pointed out, it makes a lot more sense (especially with tar) to 
use directory names rather than device names.

I vaguely recall some versions of amanda having issues with root 
partitions on Linux.  So, if you're running Linux, make sure you're 
running the most recent version of amanda.
