Sorry, I think what I should be doing is splitting the amdump and amflush. In 
other words, all dumps go to disk, and then I can manually flush ('cause I'm 
having this intermittence).

But the report does say
  driver: going into degraded mode because of tape error.

Even though I do have plenty holding disk (Remember -- 4GB tapes):
   Holding disk /export/backupstore: 26773908 KB disk space available, that's 
plenty

Although before I complain about _this_ problem, I should probably upgrade. 
Like I mentioned to someone else -- I'm being a distro weenie. I _like_ 
everything Debianized -- will see if the debian package scripts drop in over 
the new version.

By the way, the latest beta is considered stable?
