Somethings definitely wrong here, but from this I've no idea what. It
should not take a tape drive over 5 minutes to locate and load the
next correct tape. My server check is usually a very small fraction
of a second, but I'm also using virtual tapes on a 200Gb drive.

The client check time is more realistic. Heres a clip from mine:
Server check took 0.579 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.523 seconds, 0 problems found
