What is your tapetype set to? Is Amanda saying this file system by
itself is too big, or it in addition to the others in the run is too big?
Any chance of increasing runtapes to 2 and using (e.g.) chg-manual so
Amanda can work with two tapes?

No. And it probably wouldn't help. Once you turn on software
compression, writing that image to a drive with hardware compression
turned on will only get you the lower marketing number (15 GBytes in your
case) **at most**. Since your file system is a little over 15 GBytes,
it probably won't fit.
It might be easier to lie more to Amanda about the tape length until it
tries to do everything and see whether it's really a problem.
