What's in there? Maybe something crossfiring?

Maybe you also post the output of:

amadmin yourconf config

so we can see what is interpreted by amanda.

And try 3.5.1 maybe. I think noone knows about the bugs of 3.5.2 yet.

Yes, I was also thinking about installing 3.5.1; I installed 3.5.2 from 
RPM so I thought it was ok (I was reinstalling an old server wich ran 
3.3.9).


I tried your suggestion and if I run amdump for each DLE, the dumps are ok


Why don't you just set up a small holding disk?

I understand the intention to make it work without but I don't see the 
advantage of doing so.


Amanda is designed to use a holding disk, it's just recommended and best 
practice ;-)
