When I try to backup a single file with Amanda it fails stating that
it is not a directory. I've seen examples of single file backups, so
I'm sure it's possible. Is there something I need to specify in the
DLE or DUMPTYPE to allow this to succeed?

Thank you. I am somewhat new to this. Could you be a little more
specific. Is this a dumptype entry?

A little of both, dumptype and DLE. Dumptypes are named and reusable in multiple DLEs. So if you were backing up audio files from multiple locations you might define a dumptype as:
define dumptype AUDIO { user-tar include list append "./*.mp3" }
and make several DLEs using the AUDIO dumptype.
An alternative in the disklist file is to use the {...} syntax, to customize a DLE with various dumptype properties. That is what Jean-Francois was suggesting.
When you do this you create a unique, unnamed dumptype. As it has no name, that new dumptype can not be used by other DLEs.
