You want the amanda-242-tapeio branch from CVS.  That generalizes the
Amanda tape I/O subsystem and one of the "drivers" is called "file",
which writes to a set of disk files to emulate a tape.  You could then
take that area and write it to a CD.

The amanda(8) man page in that branch has been updated to document this.
