Maybe something crossfiring? Maybe you also post the output of: amadmin yourconf config so we can see what is interpreted by amanda. And try 3.5.1 maybe. I think noone knows about the bugs of 3.5.2 yet.

I tried your suggestion and if I run amdump for each DLE, the dumps are ok Why don't you just set up a small holding disk? I understand the intention to make it work without but I don't see the advantage of doing so. Amanda is designed to use a holding disk, it's just recommended and best practice ;-)
