Is "/dev/nsa0" the same device you're using in amanda.conf?
What happens if you do this:
mt -f /dev/nsa0 rewind
dd if=/dev/nsa0 of=/tmp/amanda.label bs=32k
First, does it work at all? Second, how big is /tmp/amanda.label?

I'm not sure I understand. Are you asking how to run Amanda just once
per week (only on Saturdays)?
Dumpcycle tells Amanda how often to run full dumps. It doesn't really
apply to how often, or when, amdump is run. So do you want to do a full
dump each Saturday?
If so, you could do this one of two ways. Since you effectively want
to do a full dump every time you run amdump, you could set dumpcycle
to zero (runspercycle would not matter).
Or you could set dumpcycle to "1 week" and set runspercycle to 1.
If you want to do (for instance) a full dump every four weeks, then
you would set dumpcycle to "4 weeks" and runspercycle to 4.
