What version were you using?

I don't see that in my 2.4.5 or my 2.5 configs.   I vaguely recall that
was what the 'holdingdisk' parameter used to be called.  Also, you're
missing the closing quote so the parser would choke anyway.

Same issue as above.  You need something like:
 holdingdisk name {
        use 200 Gb
           ...
       }

The log filenames are compiled in, but there is a logdir option to
specify the directory the logfiles get written into.  You might want
to read through the entire amanda.conf man page, as there are many
new options worth considering even if your old config does work.
