I get this error when I try to run a amdump: http://pastebin.com/d1191d31e

in the wiki I found this:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/A_TAPE_ERROR_OCCURRED:_Could_not_find_a_tape_to_use

and I don't think they're related, but since I'm new to amanda I'm
still @ a loss as to how to debug this error. Any help would be really
appreciated.

Did you already "amlabel" any tapes ?
Or do you have "amlabel_new_tapes yes" in the amanda.conf?

What is the output "amtape test-s3 show" ?

That configname seems like you're trying out Amazon S3 service.
If yes, I guess you followed:
