OK, you are using tar which works at the file and directory level,
not at the device level.  I think you could have specified
/dev/ad1s1e and /dev/ad2s1e and amanda would have figured out
what the mount point was from the /etc/fstab file or some such.

However, why work with devices?  Why not the directory names?

 black WAVS-ak /usr/local/www/data/WAVS {
                user-tar-no-compress
                include "./[A-K]*"
                } 2 local

Wouldn't that be more readable?
