After seeing that /dev/sg0 is a rewinding device and reading in INSTALL
that it needs to point to a non-rewinding device, I changed it to point
to /dev/nst0 which is supposedly it in linux.  However, when 'amcheck -s
DailySet' is run again, I get this:

---
Holding disk /backup/amanda: 12891648 KB disk space available, using

ERROR: /dev/nst0: rewinding tape: No medium found
       (expecting a new tape)

At least with /dev/sg0, it had found a medium.  And I'm not too sure
what's going on with the permission denied error either.

Was there a tape inserted into the drive at this point?
Had it been amlabel'ed

hopefully that is what is missing at this juncture...

?
