I haven't looked at your full config yet, but a few quick notes:
* The underlying cause of this particular error message from the -o
option is that Amanda is explicitly looking a String object for the
template value. You should be able to work around that quirk
with nested quotes, something like
amvault ... '-olabelstr="Vault-[1-7]"' ...
* That aside, though, it really should sufficient to define the labelstr
in the storage definition itself; you shouldn't need to specify the
labelstr on the command line at all. If that's not working it's
probably worth further investigation to figure out why. (In fact,
with the use of a 'policy' on the HP storage, you shouldn't need any of
the "-o" options on the amvault line, I believe.)
* The Wiki page

might have some useful hints.
