Is that dumper procs per DLE?  Or per host?
Seems to me that any DLE should only have one dumper assigned.

I also wonder about the section of amanda(1) that says:

    Note that this parameter may also be set in a  specific
    dumptype  (see below).  This value sets the default for
    all dumptypes so must appear in amanda.conf before  any
    dumptypes are defined.

As the poster is defining it inside a dumptype (not the first),
perhaps the default is taking effect rather than his "global"
definition.
