This is currently a limitation in AMANDA that there has been some discussion
on in amanda-hackers.
For now, the work-around is to use multiple tar entries to backup that
partition. There are several good explanations of how to do this in the
mailing list archives.

Subject: Spanning Tapes
Can any version of Amanda span multiple tapes for a file system which
are
larger then the tape size?
Here is what we have:
A 7 tape Quantum DLT autotape changer.
A HP-UX 11.00 3600 series Unix box.
Amanda-2.4.1p1
The chg-multi script configured to make use of HP's 'mc'
command to move the tapes around.
Amanda runs great for file systems which take up less then one tape, and
knows to how to switch tapes for the next backup, but does not seem to
span tapes for the one file system which is larger then a single DLT
tape.
Any advice/help will be appreciated.
-Jeff
