I've seen and reported this problem many times, in this exact instance
(holddisk filled up) and also when there is a data timeout either
during the estimate phase or with amdump. Thing is that it's not 100%
reproducible in my local setup so I suspect that some other
condition(s) must be met for this to happen.

You don't specify your OS though...I've seen this on a server running
irix-6.5.19 (old!) and amanda 2.5.2p1.
