Ok, the whole /dev/ida/c0d0p2 thing is a word device i
will admit, but it's definitely not offline...
Does this setup pass amcheck?
Could you have a look in devdb.tons' /tmp/amanda/sendbackup.* file
whether there's something suspicious going on? It's most probably
either a typo or a permissions problem.
Are you using GNUTAR or DUMP? In case of GNUTAR, can you try giving the
mountpoint instead of the device file, if my first suggestions don't help?

ok, so i guess tar probably has problems w/ sockets?
Sockets get routinely ignored by tar, nothing to worry about. The
`Cannot stat' errors in the spool directory are certainly harmless, just
a file that disappeared between the moment tar constructed its list of
files to backup, and the moment it wanted to actually read them.
(that isn't so big of a deal), what is a problem is
that it shouldn't even be backing up anything in /tmp/
or oldstuff (here's my exclude file):
./tmp/*
./proc/*
./dev/*
*oldstuff*
./mnt/*
./opt/naroot/*
./var/tmp/*
./var/www/*
./sys/*
there's another thread on the whole amanda ignoring
excludes going on right now, but it doesn't seem like
any definite conclusion has been reached. is this a
bug, or do i just have a badly formed exclude file?
Actually, there is no known problem whatsoever with exclude lists. The
other thread that you allude to, will most probably just debug the
exclude file's syntax. Same thing for you, are you sure that your
exclude file is correctly taken into account? Again, the files in
/tmp/amanda/ on the client will tell you that.
You will notably find the complete command line that amanda uses for
tar, in one of these files. It doesn't hurt to try that line and see
whether it fails; most probably the solution will pop out immediately if
you try that.
