Does amcheck run through fine ?
Is Back06 in your tapelist?

At first let me tell you that you should not use "localhost" in your
DLEs. Use the fully qualified hostname (FQDN) instead. localhost bites
you at recovery time.

2. The message does not say that localhost:work/04 does not fit on
tape. It says that the size of the whole dump (~ all DLEs) is larger
than your tape.

And the disklist?
