The little bit of experience I have of amanda has showed me that "dumpcycle
0" in amanda.conf will force a level 0 (full) dump.  I've been running
amanda in a test lab with that setting before going production with
incremental backups.

Probably not the correct way of doing it in your case, but maybe it works if
all else fails?
