I suddenly realised that I have a lot of dump directories on my holding

When I say "generally successful", what I mean is that there haven't
been any major problems lately, but DLEs will occasionally fail to fit
on the current tape. If they do, they are flushed automatically via the
"autoflush" option. In any case, closer inspection reveals that the
directories don't contain real data; a full listing of the files is
included below.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I'm using amanda-2.4.4p1 on Red
Hat Linux 9.
-sh-2.05b$ ls -ltr */*
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 0 Jul 9 23:10
20030709/fileserv._usr_freeware_apache.0.tmp
The .tmp files are aborted dumps that didn't get cleaned up. Are you
sure amdump is completing fine? Make sure no amanda processes are
running an run amcleanup. That might clear things out.
