Confirm it is repeatable.
I just had an odd one I don't expect to repeat.
Amanda used the same tape (tape8) 2 days in a row.
I think it happened because I was playing with a new Solaris feature
called "live upgrade" and I suspect the old tapelist got put back
after the first use of tape8. I don't think I will ever track
down the actual cause. But I'm out one days dumps.
If it is repeatable, then time to delve into the reports/logs/debug files.
You might try a test dump with only a few entries in your disklist.
Comment out most with a '#" sign and see if it still fails. That will
also give you fewer/smaller files to look through.
