Yes, these are the directorys amanda creates during the backup-process to spool the tar/dump images before writing them to tape. If a tape error (like eot/eom) occures during the backup, the left over degraded-mode dumpes will sit in these directorys waiting to be flushed to tape by amflush. If the amdump-run succeeds completly amanda deletes these directorys at the end.
