It seems like I started getting -1 when I had a disklist entry that was
to large to ever do a level 0.  Eventually it started doing the -1
thing.  I worked around by asking amanda to never do a full. I
eventually re-designed the file system so it would always fit on my
tapes.

Probably off-base here but, maybe it is the problem.

Hope this helps,
