Hello list,
i installed a new holding disk in my system and copied all the files
of the old holding disks to the new one.

Did you mount the new holding disk at the same mount point that the previous one ? 

All these 'NO FILE TO FLUSH' lines are holding files from the former
holding disks.

In the amflush.1 file i found the following error messages :

size_holding_files: open of /raid/15/20060513000000/stern.cartoon-
film.de._usr.4.1 failed: No such file or directory
stat /raid/15/20060513000000/stern.cartoon- film.de._usr.4.1: No such
file or directory

build_diskspace: open of /raid/15/20060513000000/stern.cartoon-
film.de._raid_13_LINETEST.0.1 failed: No such file or directory

The filename in this logfile are wrong, but amanda still uses the old
holding disk names.

Is there a way to tell amanda that i moved the holding files
somewhere else ? I checked the curinfo files but didnt found any hint
where this information is stored! At least the holding disk path isnt
there in cleartext!

I would make a symbolic link from the old holding disk location to the new one and try to re-run amdump. 

Ex: ln -s /you_new/holding_disk_directory /your_old_holding_disk_directory

After running amdump, the new amanda runs should use the new holding disk
