Humm, I made one other assumption, and that was that either the
holding disk area isn't in the paths of the filesystems in the
disklist, or that it was specifically excluded. Backing up the
holding disk is a moving target since amanda is writing to it as
she does the dumps. It could get recursive and eat up a lot of
tape.
