I see two problems here Kevin.

1. It appears you have some leftover rpms installed, and its finding 
those first.  Do a "rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep amanda`" (those are 
backticks!) and then reinstall _your_ build.

2. If the filesystem is indeed too big, then you will have to 
convert from dump (the general consensus here seems to be that its 
less than desireable) to tar, which because its file oriented, will 
allow you to break the filesystems down into subdir entries, each 
of which will then fit on a tape.  I prefer to try and keep each 
disklist entry at less than half a tape, and have 39 entries in the 
disklist for this home machine with its 105gigs of drives, and a 
3.8 gig tape.
