This says that after Amanda had gathered all the dump size estimates,
and kept reducing the size as much as it could, these file systems just
would not fit on the amount of tape you told it it could use.

It's interesting it could not bump to level 2 (if that would have helped).
Have you changed the bump* amanda.conf parameters?

You might post the results of running your amanda.conf through this
(to remove all the comments and empty lines):

  sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d'

This is more of the same.

These are normal.  It says Amanda was able to write about 30 GBytes on
those two tapes, but it still had more to dump so dropped into degraded
mode (leaving the dumps in the holding disk).

At the last days there were no problems, but this mail of the daily
amanda backup just shows me a lot of failures which I have never seen!
