You guys are right.  It is that the holding disk is not big enough so amanda
is not using it.
All the network data is rsyncd to this machine and then backed up locally.
This is to have
a running mirror and a tape backup.  But I do believe the problem is the
holding disk which I am
working on fixing now.

Thanks
