No, that is the intended way amanda works.

No other way. Dumpcycle is exactly ment for this purpose.
To give the time after that every filesystem has to be dumped at least
once with a level 0 dump.

Yes. if you specify a dumpcycle of 7 days, with runspercycle set to 5
and tapecycle set to 10, amanda will only accept tape T1 when it has
written to tape T10 before.
dumpcyle tels amanda how often to do level 0's
and tapecycle tells her how many tapes she should use before
recycling them.
Hope it helps
