I haven't worked with amd in a long time, but I _think_ it requires 
a virtual 'mount point', where everything it manages appears 'under'
that directory node.

HOWEVER, one can create symlinks elsewhere in the filesystem that point
to the actual directories under the amd 'mount point'.

This gives the 'effect' of what you're trying to do, albeit not the 
specific methodology.
