By far the easiest way is to list the mount point. For instance "/var".
There is no reason to convert that to a disk name. Amanda will do all
of that for you, if needed.

error message.

I don't understand. Are you trying to back up an NFS mounted
directory? Why not install Amanda on the NFS server and do it that way?
In particular, using GNU tar across an NFS mount is going to have problems
unless you set the NFS mount options properly (allow root access).
