Can you post those 2 dumptypes from your amanda.conf?

here they are, along with the global dumptype.

define dumptype root-tar {

}

And the only error I see in this is that index isn't defined, just used. I believe that should be as shown in the global comment.

I wonder if that lack is preventing the lowered priority setting from taking place?

I need more caffiene, I just woke up from an overnighter.
