I'm not sure I understood what I need to do.
I changed the dumptype in my amanda.conf file to GNUTAR, this section now says:

define dumptype user-tar {
    root-tar
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "definitions for GNUTAR"
}

I also ran ./configure again on my client with --with-gnutar=/usr/ local/xtar/xtar (and subsequent make and make install, of course).

I now get for amdump daily:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  biost1.tau.ac.il  /Users/amanda/sync  RESULTS MISSING
  driver: FATAL Did not get DATE line from planner

the latest  sendsize*.debug file says:

Mac OS X includes 'dump', but does not, by default, create any
filesystems that 'dump' can handle.  You'll need to use
  program "GNUTAR"
in your disktype for this client.
