That report suggests to me that there were no "partitions" to dump.
You noted it has been running for an hour. When I run amflush,
there is an interactive Q&A session that, after I give the final
confirmation, shifts amflush to the background noting it will send
me a mail message when completed. Is that what you saw too?
Did you get a mail message? What were its contents?
Do you have things to flush? amflush, during the Q&A, shows what
amdumps might be available for flushing. If you go to the holding
disk, are there files for dumping there?
Do you think that you have something to flush because an amdump
report said (IIRC) "some dumps MAY have been left in the holding disk".
Note that "MAY", it is a key word. There 'may not' have been anything
left either. At the point amanda adds that info to the amdump report
it can't tell.
Did you run an amdump since the problem run? I ask as there is an
"autoflush" option in amanda.conf that causes anything that needs
flushing to be flushed at the start of the next amdump run.
