It just means you told Amanda you had nearly 105GB of holding disk
but it only found about 92GB of available space.

Unless your backups are very large and your tape drive is slow, 92GB
should be plenty.  If you're not getting errors about running out
of holdingdisk and dumps going directly to tape, I wouldn't worry
about it.
