I was wondering, simply a guess.  What happens if you leave the slashes
out of the second field with a 4 field entry.  I.e. raidion_HOME_REST
rather than /raidion...  I've never used the diskname in a 4 part'er
with slashes.  I'm thinking, maybe the leading slash makes some part
of amanda think it is a pathname to the device/directory.  Perhaps
if there is no leading slash it will pick up the 3rd field as the device.
