At first I would set the holdingdisk-definition to something like
use -500 Mb
(if you want to stay safe)
or even remove the "use"-line to let Amanda use all of the space there.
This would remove that nasty WARNING.
After this Amanda will reserve 10% of that space for incremental backups
in degraded mode (with your current setting of the "reserve"-parameter,
of course).
AFAI understand you wonder why Amanda doesn't use the holdingdisk?
Dunno if the upper suggestions make a change, but a simple question:
How big are the DLEs in that config?
