Actually, after sending that I remembered that in a conversation a year
ago Jean-Louis mentioned that amflush _will_ try to flush .tmp files, so
the above answer is not complete.
(What version of Amanda is this?)
Its definitely important that the files in question are still ".tmp"
files -- that dump did not complete for some reason.
However, since amflush does flush .tmp files (at least in Amanda 3.5),
the next step is probably to look in the amflush-process log file to see
if it given any indication why it's skipping those files when searching
for something to flush.
