Greetings!  For some time, we have been experiencing errors in our
amanda backup report, as outlined below.  The other admin and myself
believe that this more than likely has something to do with the fact
that that amanda spools to /localdisk0 and is supposed to backup that
partition as well.

These errors are occuring with amanda 2.4.3b2 on FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE.

The config file is rather large, so I haven't attached it, although I'd
be more than happy to provide any requested snippets.  Thank you for any
and all help or ideas!

These dumps were to tape NEXTRIALS007.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: NEXTRIALS008.
