ufsdump might have been able to figure out from which date to do the
incremental, `IF' it had been asked to do an incremental.

However, as this was a new config, amanda "knew" there had never been
a level 0 for this config.  And of course it must start from a level 0
to do the incrementals.  Even on a config meant to do incronly strategy
you must do an initial full dump.
