I take it you did not read what i wrote. The holding disk is already empty after i 'rm -r':ed it.

But even if i tell amanda to never use the holding disk for the failing DLE it just stops immediately when trying to run the planner (it normally takes a few minutes for that DLE). All other DLEs run fine.
