And you still have this error.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As I said before, nothing else is going to work UNTIL this is fixed.

Please clip and post the results you see on screen of these three 
commands, executed against the tape in the drive when amdump was last 
run.  As root:

mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
dd if=/dev/st0 count=1
su amanda -c "amcheck /yourconfigname/"

where /yourconfigname/ is whatever you have named it.  It is the 
directory name where you will find your amanda.conf.

Also, Please post your disklist entry for sda3, and your amanda.conf
