My tape size is set to 4000Meg and I've defined my dumptypes to set tape_splitsize to
400Meg.

The problem I'm running into is that the split size appears to be ignored. I've only set up the server so far and it's complaining about two partitions (amstatus output below):

chekov.otherother.com:/home 0 planner: [dump larger than available tape space,
5089230 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]
chekov.otherother.com:/opt 0 planner: [dump larger than available tape space,
14743965 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]

You probably have "runtapes 1" (the default if not specified).

Amanda still has to be able to put all the (eventually split) dumps
somewhere on (v)tape.  And 4000 MB < 5089230 KB.

Use a changer (chg-disk or chg-multi) and set runtapes > 1.
