You also need to set the "reserve" parameter, which tells amanda how much
of the holding disk space (in %) to reserve for "degraded mode", i.e.
non-level-0 dumps. The default is 100, meaning it can't do full dumps to
holding disk. And, since this is your first run, you can't do incremental
dumps. Thus the error. I guess, in your situation, that you want reserve
to be 0.
