I was curious if you have a "use" option in place for your holding disk
definitions....

I don't think it would resolve your underlying/original problem (which I
guess is that the taper process dies or soemthing), but it seems like
some of your "cleanup" issues would be avoided if the holiding-disk
filesystems didn't reach 100% usage and thus you avoiding the
empty-"pid"-file situation.

I'm not sure how precisely Amanda is able to control the actual usage as
data streams in from the clients, but if you don't already have a "use"
option in your holding-disk definitions, you might try adding "use -1 gb"
or something like to see if that at least prevents the filesystems
from getting 100% full when this situation hits....  (Presumably you
don't fill up the holding-disk filesystems during a normal run; if you
do come close, you might need "use -200 mb" instead, or whatever.)
