Matt,
What's the 'reserve' configuration?
By default, amanda do only incrementals when run without tape.

My problem - it runs and does an incremental backup. I've tracked it
for over a month and it's only done incrementals. Here's an example of
the output
Hostname: ubuntu Org : Impari Systems Config : dell Date : July 31, 2012 There
are 0G of dumps left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: dell-0002. STATISTICS: Total Full Incr.

However, if I run it without the --no-taper directive, it knows it
needs to run a full backup.
Is this a (l)user error? Do I have something wrong with my config or
the crontab entry?
Thanks,
