Best guess - look at the size of your holding disk.
If the 28 GB save won't fit in there, then it will go direct to
tape.
See if the disk subsystem is able to keep the tape streaming. If
you see lots of stop/start of the tape, then the tape is being starved.

Usual AMANDA scheduler of mixing them up, but having the files segregated for
archival purposes.
I guess the link idea would work, since it's all on the same disk anyway...
The idea behind the seperate directory is just to sort out the Level 0 dumps
from the rest in an easier fashion.
