Do now, its down below but TLDR, so copied it again.

That's a swap"file". Using it is hard on the u-sd card. This swap is on a
300 meg/sec 120GB SSD. Ought to be 50x faster, making it semi-usable.

Which don't apply to swap, so they could be removed.
New line in etc/fstab that works for swapon -a now is:
UUID=7b06d9bc-18f2-4c25-957d-f426141664b3 none swap defaults,nofail 0 0
I nuked the /var/swap file, so we'll see how amanda works in 4 or 5
hours.
Thanks Alan.
