Is your holding disk sufficiently large?

Yes.  260 Gigs to hold about 240 Gigs of backup in 2 pieces (100+140)

Have you changed the "reserve" for incrementals parameter
from its default 100%?

I have now.  I have also set (in the "always-full" dumptype):
    strategy noinc
    skip-incr

Do I need all three set as above?  Or would just the "reserve 0"
take care of it?

Thanks to Jon and John for the answers.  I appreciate it.
