If the above is in bytes, I'm stumped, if its in kilobytes, it looks 
as if its too big for one tape at 8,758.612 megs.

Since amanda cannot span a single DLE across more than 1 tape, she 
is apparently refusing to do it.

You will need to break that DLE down into subdir listings, such as, 

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0/home
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0/etc
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0/whatever

in order to get its present estimated size of 8,758,612 broken down 
into pieces that will fit on a tape.  Then when it hits EOT while 
writing one of the smaller DLE's, it should unload that tape, load 
the next and restart that unfinished DLE from its beginning on the 
next tape.

If it refuses to do the smaller entries, then there must be a 
permissions problem of some kind.  From the other warnings issued 
it looks as if you are doing samba shares instead of installing the 
amanda clients on those machines. I tried that for about a month, 
and gave up on using samba which has gotchas going clear back to 
dos days.  I was backing up everything every time, wasting lots of 
tape space because it doesn't support the file time data in a 
compatible way.

Hopefully I'm not too far off base here.
