If I understand correctly, you started a dump and while it was running
you ran amstatus.  The report from amstatus showed some DLEs "waiting
for dumping".

Probably totally normal.  If you had 1000 DLE's you would not want
them all dumping at the same time.  Something would overload.  So
amanda has several restraints on what DLE dumps when.  Max number
total running at the same time, max per host, max per spindle, ...
Plus there are priorities and other things that may affect when
a particular DLE gets dumped.  It is more important whether you
see it has been dumped when amdump has completed.
