Ahh, but what is the value of the reserved keyword in your holdiingdisk
definition section of your amanda.conf?
By default, all holdingdisk space is reserved for incremental backups,
which prevents it from being used for level 0's. I have around 25GB
free there, with a reserved setting of -500m, which means it can use
all but the last 500 megs for level 0's.
