I ran amstatus as follows:
sudo su - backup -c 'amstatus normal --dumping --writing --summary 
--waitdumping'

It included the following line:

condor://linnet/g$         1        7k flushing to tape (14:27:46)

However, this backup is quite a bit bigger than 7k.

I believe that amdump is working correctly.  The file is on flushing
from an autoflush with this particular DLE.

I'm using amanda from:

amanda-245-branch
