I think chunksize is only valid in the holding disk stanza.

As you have no holding disk stanza, no place you put
chunksize would be valid.

Add your own even if the sample did not include one.

For example:

holdingdisk hd1 {
    comment "main holding disk"
    directory "/u/dumps/amanda" # where the holding disk is
    use 512 Mb          # how much space can we use on it
                        # a non-positive value means:
                        #        use all space but that value
    chunksize 512 Mb    # size of chunk if you want big dump to be
                        # dumped on multiple files on holding disks
                        #  N Kb/Mb/Gb split images in chunks of size N
                        #             The maximum value should be
                        #             (MAX_FILE_SIZE - 1Mb)
                        #  0          same as INT_MAX bytes
}

holdingdisk hd2 {
    directory "/u2/dumps/amanda"
    use 3000 Mb
    chunksize 512 Mb 
}
