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

what about the pathes of the programs used in your scripts,
are they hardcoded in the script or do you depend on the PATH
variable to be set correct?
if the later, it will not work from user-crontabs ,
as these normaly get executed without the normal user environment set.
does that ring a bell?

The "1" is in the file counter (see Script - 1001, 1002 .....)

Are you saying that 'counter' was seeded with the number 1000 to start this method up? That is not obvious from the prior postings. In this event, we need to see the labelstr from the amanda.conf which has not been supplied to the list yet, at least in the messages I just rechecked.

Definitely show the labelstr,

and I'd like to see the contents of your 'tapelist' file created
by all those successful amlabels.
