The "size" parameter in your tapetype is only used by planner (in amdump)
when it has the estimates to decide what will fit on tape. Amflush does
not use it at all. It simply keeps writing until it is finished or it
gets an error.
Is it successfully flushing things? For instance, if your holding disk
had a lot of "small" images that just totaled up more than 3500 MBytes,
each time you run amflush should get at least some of them onto tape so
eventually you will get it all cleared out.
But if you have a single image in there (even if it's in multiple holding
disk chunks) that is larger than what you can fit on a tape (apparently
3500 MBytes), you're stuck. Amanda cannot deal with images larger than
a tape (yet).
