Actually, only 4GB made it tape, as indicated above.  There probably was 
some sort of tape error, which amanda interpreted as an out of space 
error.  Look in your system logs for something relating to the tape drive 
at around the time the backup failed.

Also, make sure that hardware compression is *off*, since you are using 
software compression.  Trying to compress already compressed data is Bad.
