With a reserve value of 10, we should be ablet o utilize 60 Gig
of work area, or do I have some value set backwards ?


I believe the "reserve" value is not relevant here.

The reserve value comes into play when there is a tape problem.
At that moment, Amanda falls back to "plan B": it will dump
incrementals instead of fulls, now only to holdingdisk.  This
mode is called "degraded mode".

The default value is to reserve all of the holdingdisk for
these "degraded" mode backups  (incrementals instead of fulls).
If you want to allow some full backups in this mode too, then you
should lower the value of reserved space for incrementals.

The problem that some DLEs seem to be bypassing the holdingdisk is
not the result of the "reserve" parameter.
