I just tried to do exactlly all the Steps that cron makes and everything
works...i do not understand it.

Cron:

0 1 * * 0 /etc/amanda/label.sh (with DailySet1004)
15 1 * * 0 /usr/sbin/amcheck -a full-Sonntag

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
ERROR: /dev/nst0: reading label: Input/output error
       (expecting tape DailySet1001 or a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 0.198 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.032 seconds, 0 problems found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p4)

Manually:

bash-3.00$ /etc/amanda/label.sh (with DailySet1004)
rewinding, reading label, reading label: Input/output error
rewinding, writing label DailySet1004, checking label, done.

bash-3.00$ amcheck full-sonntag
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailySet1004 label ok
Server check took 0.022 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.024 seconds, 0 problems found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p4)


Cron does exactly the same....?!
