You didn't have a tape in, so amanda went into degraded mode.  By default, 
amanda "reserves" 100% of the holding disk for incrementals in degraded 
mode.  But, since these were all new disks, amanda couldn't do 
incrementals.  Thus the backup failed.

Next time, either put in a tape or specify a lower percentage to reserve 
in amanda.conf.
