I was doing something I didn't realize was a problem.
Perhaps other may benefit from my goof:
global file:
define dumptype AAA {}
ERRONEOUS config file:
dumpcycle 1 week
define dumptype BBB {AAA; then more stuff}
ERRONEOUS diskfile:
node disk BBB
#this is fine; uses dumpcycle 7 days = 1week
node2 disk2 AAA
# NOT ok; uses some generic default dumpcycle of 10 days
The FIX:
config file:
dumpcycle 1 week
define dumptype BBB {AAA; more stuff}
define dumptype CCC {AAA}
Use BBB or CCC but do not ever use AAA directly in a disklist.
This wasn't obvious to me!
