I've tried to force a L0 backup of it, like :

amadmin DailySet1 force qtvpdc.lab:/Shares
amadmin: qtvpdc.lab:/Shares is set to a forced level 0 at next run.


But when amdump runs, it just schedules a L1 or L2 backup.

Syntax:

% amadmin help

Usage: amadmin <conf> <command> {<args>} ...
    Valid <command>s are:
        version                         # Show version info.
        force [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+ # Force level 0 at next run.
        unforce [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+       # Clear force command.
        force-bump [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+    # Force bump at next run.
        force-no-bump [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+ # Force no-bump at next run.
        unforce-bump [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+  # Clear bump command.
        reuse <tapelabel> ...           # re-use this tape.
        no-reuse <tapelabel> ...        # never re-use this tape.
        find [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]*  # Show which tapes these dumps are on.
        delete [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]*        # Delete from database.
        info [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]*  # Show current info records.
        due [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]*   # Show due date.
        balance                         # Show nightly dump size balance.
        tape                            # Show which tape is due next.
        bumpsize                        # Show current bump thresholds.
        export [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]*        # Export curinfo database to 
stdout.
        import                          # Import curinfo database from stdin.
        disklist [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]*      # Show disklist entries.


So your "amadmin DailySet1 force qtvpdc.lab:/Shares"
should be "amadmin DailySet1 force qtvpdc.lab /Shares"
