Thanks for all of your replies and help with this!
I do have SEVERAL "GNUTAR" dumptype parameters
declared...is there an issue with having more than one in
my conf file?? I added the last one in the block per the
WIKI instructions
(http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Test_environment_with_virtual_tapes),
otherwise, the rest were already present in there...

# defining parameters.
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
# This is quite useful for setting global parameters,
so you don't have
# to type them everywhere. All dumptype definitions in
this sample file
# do include these definitions, either directly or
indirectly.
# There's nothing special about the name `global'; if
you create any
# dumptype that does not contain the word `global' or
the name of any
# other dumptype that contains it, these definitions
won't apply.
# Note that these definitions may be overridden in
other
# dumptypes, if the redefinitions appear *after* the
`global'
# dumptype name.
# You may want to use this for globally enabling or
disabling
# indexing, recording, etc. Some examples:
# index yes
# record no
# split_diskbuffer "/raid/amanda"
# fallback_splitsize 64m

# - the values below are only samples.
# - specifying an interface does not force the
traffic to pass
# through that interface. Your OS routing tables
do that. This
# is just a mechanism to stop Amanda trashing your
network.
# Attributes are:
# use - bandwidth above which amanda
won't start
# backups using this interface.
Note that if
# a single backup will take more
than that,
# amanda won't try to make it run
slower!
