I've been running amanda for about a month, I figured it's about time to 
verify those backups and see if it's working... I verified two fairly recent 
tapes and got the following errors.

I'm not sure what to make of 'em, does it look like my mistake somewere (i 
notice it refers to the non rewinding device) or should I assume those tapes 
are too old?

Am check ran fine on 2 other tapes from yesterday and today's backups.

Thanks in advance, You guys rock, I've never seen a mailing list more active 
and supporting than this!
