Bingo! Thanks, that put me on the right path:
~# su amanda -c "/opt/amanda/sbin/amcheck -l charm"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
NOTE: skipping tape checks
NOTE: host info dir /opt/amanda/usr/adm/amanda/charm/curinfo/gaspar does not
exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /opt/amanda/usr/adm/amanda/charm/index/gaspar does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.

I think I got it now.
The amanda.conf used the following holding disk definition:
define holdingdisk "holddisk" {
directory "/holddisk/charm"
use -50Gb
chunksize 0
}
So I changed it to:
holdingdisk "holddisk" {
directory "/holddisk/charm"
use -50Gb
chunksize 0
}
and now the amcheck outputs:
~# su amanda -c "/opt/amanda/sbin/amcheck -l charm"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /holddisk/charm: 4004264 MB disk space available, using 3953064 MB
NOTE: skipping tape checks
NOTE: host info dir /opt/amanda/usr/adm/amanda/charm/curinfo/gaspar does not
exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /opt/amanda/usr/adm/amanda/charm/index/gaspar does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
Server check took 0.001 seconds
(brought to you by Amanda 3.3.0)
amdump is now writing to the hold disk.
thanks again!
