(What's the exact text of the warning in question? Knowing that would
help give more precise explanations.)
Note that dumpcycle is specified in days, but if you are running
multiple runs per day then it would be possible to fill up 21 tapes in
less than 7 days, and Amanda might not have scheduled a second level 0
for some DLEs in that period of time.
The "amoverview" command can show you if in fact your tape <CONFIG>.0 is
the only one with a level 0 dump for some DLE(s).
