Looks like a first run, thus level zero's must be done of each file system.
Your tape is not big enough to fit level zero's of all four file systems.
The one that did not fit was flushed to the second tape.

Only thing unclear is:

For that check your debug files, probably in /tmp/amanda, for more info.
A guess is that it did not affect the flush but happened at the very end.
