Look at the 'reserve' parameter in your amanda.conf. The default is 100, which reserves all of your holdingdisk space for incrementals, on the theory that if your tape fails you want to be able to continue backups for as long as possible. If you have plenty of space. or your goals are different, you can adjust that number down as appropriate and allow level 0s to go to holdingdisk.
