Hello
I added the /usr/local/sbin to the Path variable of user amanda.  I can
successfully execute the amanda commands.
I ran amdump without running amlabel.  I want to label the tape now-
Running the command gives the following error
[amanda@backup admin]$ amlabel -f DailySet1 DailySet10
rewinding
amlabel: tape_rewind: tape open: /dev/nst0: Permission denied

If I try to remove the tape from the tape database using the amrmtape
command - i do not know the label that should be given .
amrmtape -v  DailySet1 <label>
How can I start from scratch using the same tape???

Regards
madhvi
