It looks like it only used one tape -- what makes you think it used three?

How large are your tapes?  It wrote ~1.8G of data, then stopped.  Did
that filesystem run out of space?

No, the file system has some 300GB of available space, and the total backup would have been kess than 20GB. However, I had the tapetypes set to be 50GB and between this and other configs, may have had more 50GB tapes defined this way than there is space for. I never actually backed up anywhere near that much data or used that much space. Does that matter?

Also, can I assume that there is no good reason to use a holding disk on the backup server if you're doing disk based virtual tapes?
