However, many filesystem operations 'stat' their way up the directory structure to /, and if you mount things directly in / (such as /remotedir) instead of down a level (/mnt/remotedir) many of those ops will hang if that mount is hung. Not sure if this even applies in your situation, it's just something I've observed with hung NFS mounts in /. Amanda does do a df of a couple of places (indexdir and tmp perhaps?) but I doubt those would hang unless they happened to be on your hung mount.
