Things to check:

  * What is the "length" value for your tapetype?

  * What is "runtapes" set to?

  * Find the "DELAYING DUMPS IF NEEDED" line in your amdump.NN file.
    It shows you how big the dump estimates were (total_size) as well
    as how much tape Amanda thought it had to work with (tape length).
