Why do it that way?  Just use 'dumpcycle 0' and it should do the same 
thing.

Sort of.  You don't seem to be using a tape, so amanda was probably in 
degraded mode.  What is your reserve set to in amanda.conf?  If it's the 
default, there's no room saved in degraded mode for level 0s, and you're 
not letting it switch to incrementals, thus the FAILs.
