So you don't want a full backup, just a specific folder whose name
changes each month.

I would create a symlink /path/to/link, pointing to /path/to/2006-04. 
Tell the backup to backup /path/to/link.  When the backup is done, have
a script which deletes /path/to/2006-04, then changes /path/to/link to
point at 2006-05.

Or you could have amanda backup everything, but use an exclude to block
the most recent folders.  Then you'd have to rewrite the exclude file
regularly.

I'm sure there might be a few other ways.
