ERROR : /dev/nst0: not an amanda tape expecting a new tape

I have already run amlabel and created DailySet101 .

Let's verify it is is really labelled, using the bare
unis commands:

mt -t /dev/st0 rewind
dd if=/dev/st0 bs=32k count=1

Now you should see the label: a few lines text, followed by a
lot of ascii-nul filling up the rest of the 32Kbyte header.

Post the label.
