Hi,
i would use the following values:

dumpcycle 7 days     # gives you a level 0 of every filesystem
                      # at least every week
tapecycle 31 tapes   # the amount of tapes you use over all cycles      

as you use a tape per day, even at weekends, you can ommit
runspercycle, as that is the default value amanda assumes.

as labels i won't use weekday names, just something like
daily00, daily01 .... daily31
as it is much easyer to create with amanda and matches more
the way amanda uses tapes.
