Explanation
Amanda estimates the size of each DLE before beginning to dump anything. If the estimated size for a DLE is larger than the size of a tape, then (assuming spanning is not enabled) Amanda knows it will never be able to fit that dump on a tape, and produces this log message.
Solution
Either enable tape spanning or break your DLEs into smaller, more manageable DLEs.
