Thank you Jean-Louis! We'll give it a try as soon as possible.

Tim,
Amanda add the 'r'.
It's historical, it try to be smart and do the following conversion.
/dev/sd0a -> /dev/rsd0a
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 -> /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 -> /dev/dsk/rc0t0d0s0
Because DUMP works with the raw device, not the block device.
Try the attached patch.

Folks,
I hope this is not a FAQ (I could not find it there in any case). We
have set up amanda (2.5.1p1) running on Debian 3.1 Linux to backup
automounted directories from a SnapServer 410. The configuration
appears to work OK with DLEs of the form:
our.net.udel.edu /vol/dir our-gnutar
Where /vol is our automount point and dir is the share exported by the
SnapServer.
However, when amcheck or the dumper runs, we see one or more automount
errors indicating that things like /vol/rdir cannot be mounted for
each automounted DLE. We guess the 'r' in front of the 'dir' might
come from something like attempting to mount /vol/dir first as a raw
device???
Does anyone know (a) if that is really the cause of the problem and/or
(b) how to make is stop? We fear it is just a matter of time before
someone decides to create a real share with a name like "rdir" that
conflicts with an existing "dir" share.
Thanks for any suggestions,
