Here is my amflush command : Scanning /amanda/daily... 20040823: found Amanda directory. 20040910: found Amanda directory. 20041012: found Amanda directory.
Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter: A. 20040823 B. 20040910 C. 20041012 Select directories to flush [A..C]: [ALL]
As you can see I saw the dump I can flush, The prob occure with each dump
Just because the directory is there doesn't mean anything is in it. What does an 'ls -lR' of one of those directories show? Sometimes Amanda doesn't properly clean up the holdingdisk. The directory only gets removed if its completely empty and sometimes there are 0 byte chunks left behind if a client backup fails. Amflush isn't too smart and just looks for the dated directories to ask you about but then doesn't have anything to actually write to tape if you pick one.

How can i troubleshoot amflush (I run it as amanda user)
First make sure there is something to flush. Are there actually files in your holdingdisk or are you running it because of a report that says 'warning, some files may be left on holdingdisk'? The warning just means there is a possibilty of something to flush, not that there definately is. Also, make sure that whatever is in your holdingdisk belongs to the config you're trying to amflush. I would guess there's something in your debug directory as well (I think /tmp/amanda is the default), but I've never had occasion to look there after an amflush.
Related question for others on the group: why does amanda mark a tape as being used even when nothing is written to it? Shouldn't the update to the tapelist be done only after something was written?
