Thanks for the help, I more-or-less got things working.
The problem was a combination of the etimeout value, and
some oddities that occurred when I replaced MMDF with Sendmail.
However, I now have a new problem. The check seems to run fine:
------------------start check------------------
[root]/home/users> su amanda -c "/usr/local/sbin/amcheck Daily"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /usr/local/amanda/dumps: 58975840 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
ERROR: cannot overwrite active tape DailySet101
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 4.827 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 1.696 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3)
-------------------end check-------------------
However, the actual run seems to have problems:
-------------------start run-------------------
These dumps were to tape DailySet101.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing filemark: I/O error]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

Now, I know that there is enough room on the tape for what I am backing up.
(40G tape, /home on the cvs server = 188M, /home on the cclcsup server = 3.1G)
Any suggestions?
Also, what is the recommended solution for replacing a tape in a tape run?
i.e. if the tape gets damaged? Presumably you would need to get a new tape,
label it the same as the old tape and just add it to the run, right?
Thanks,
