Paul, thanks for your thoughts. I don't think so. The whole amanda.conf 
concerning the holding disks is:
holdingdisk hd1 {
    comment "main holding disk"
    directory "/var/amanda"     # where the holding disk is
    use -0Mb            # how much space can we use on it. Use everything.
    chunksize 1Gb       # size of chunk if you want big dump to be

    }
holdingdisk hd2 {
    directory "/dumps2/amanda"
   use -0 Mb
    }
reserve 50 # percent

amanda@admin:/etc/amanda/DailySet1 > amcheck DailySet1

Can you think of something I'm overlooking?

Thanks, again.

Any other parameters in the config for holding disk that could
affect the use of it?
