Correction -- I meant to say that it's _dtimeout_ that's set to 7200 
seconds:

        etimeout                10800   # 3h estimate timeout per f/s; default 
is 300s.
        dtimeout                7200    # 2h amdump timeout per dump; default 
is 
1800s.
        ctimeout                900     # 15m amcheck timeout per host; default 
is 30s.

But I'm puzzled as to why, after 15+ hours of working on the same DLE, 
the dump hasn't timed out??
