sendsize appears to rerun disklist twice?

[Uncle George]

I waited 4 hours for /mnt/hde4 to complete the first run of sendsize.
When it completes it appears to run the sendsize again on /mnt/hde4.
This would take another 4 hours, and i'm wondering why?
tar is 1.13.19
btw the "lx_mnt_hde4_0.new" does exist, but not just plain
"lx_mnt_hde4_0"

Because the first request was for a level 0 and the second was for a
level 1.  And Amanda may ask for a third estimate (level 2 in this case)
if it's time (bumpdays) that a bump to the next level might be possible.

[Uncle George]

thats interesting, considering that i have "dumpcycle 0 " and "dumpcycle
0" in dumptype global.
Is there a way to stop the second scan, third, 4th, and so on ?

Looking at the code, I think you also need these in the dumptype:

  strategy noinc
  skip-incr yes

Let me know if it works.  This part is a bit fuzzy to me and I'd like
to get the documentation improved about it.
