FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:

It says "out of tape", but a tape error is more likely.

...
Tape Size (GB)...........  4.71
Tape Used (%)............  9.65
Filesystems Taped........     6

Am I correct that your tapesize is configured to be about 45 Gbyte.
(What kind of tape is that, I've never seen a tape with
such a capacity.)

...
 taper: tape ARCH_DE2_003 kb 6878912 fm 7 writing
file: I/O error

While writing the 7th backup image to tape, there was an IO error
around 6878912 Kbyte or about 6.6 Gbyte. That seems to be far
from the expected capacity of 45 Gbyte, so it's probably a tape
error.
Try a cleaning tape.
Look for scsi errors in /var/adm/messages.

(PS. what version of amanda has only one column in the
statistics section? Must be quite old.)
