Your error message said it tried a level 0 and failed, and couldn't switch to an incremental (probably since no previous level 0 existed). Check the /tmp/amanda/debug* files on telsa, for more details, but first look farther up in your report in the section called "FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:" for the output from telsa. That may contain enough info to not have to wade through the debug files.
