Originally there was only 'global' - and it did work at first.  Today I added 

define dumptype user-tar-span {
  root-tar
  tape_splitsize 400Mb
  comment "tape-spanning user partitions dumped with tar"

as on the wiki page, but it is not happy with the line 'root-tar'.  I thought 
that was a predefined.  Am I wrong?

It borks at line 271 - 'root-tar'

When I tried it using GNUTAR the output was

amadmin Daily disklist borg /home
line 8:
    host borg:
        interface default
    disk /home:
        program "GNUTAR"
        exclude list "amanda.exclude"
        priority 1
        dumpcycle 7
        maxdumps 4
        maxpromoteday 10000
        bumpsize 10240
        bumpdays 1
        bumpmult 2.000000
        strategy STANDARD
        estimate CLIENT
        compress CLIENT BEST
        comprate 0.50 0.50
        encrypt NONE
        auth BSD
        kencrypt NO
        holdingdisk YES
        record YES
        index YES
        fallback_splitsize 10Mb
        skip-incr NO
        skip-full NO

Exclude list, tape_splitsize and fallback_splitsize all showed at that point.
