Actually - I left the tape out of the tape drive on purpose. I was trying
to get amanda send the full dump image to the holding disk.
When you force a full dump and there is a tape error - amanda doesn't
send the dump to the holding disk?

Amanda couldn't find a tape in the drive. It would normally default
to doing incrementals, but because full dumps had been forced for all
clients, Amanda couldn't degrade to incrementals.
Find out why Amanda couldn't see a tape in the drive. Maybe there
wasn't one, or maybe the drive reported an error trying to read it.
Check your system's syslog or kernel log for tape error messages...
Don't forget you have to 'amlabel' each new tape before Amanda will
write to it.
