Dump works on devices, not filesystems, so it won't work on an NFS mount.
Tar works on filesystems, but Amanda calls it with the option to not
cross filesystem boundaries, so a backup of /nfs in your case will
just give you the local files in /nfs and not mounts under /nfs.
  If you are trying to backup /nfs/remotedir, add /nfs/remotedir
to your disklist and it will do what you want.  I backup our legacy
NetApps via an NFS mount this way and it works fine.
