Hi! recently I've installed amanda in a linux debian. By following an FAQ (or 
the man page, I don't remember) I've created a hidden directory /.furvbackup 
and into this multiple softlinks to the areas I want to backup.  Into disklist 
I've:

    localhost    /.furvbackup    comp-high

The first amreport says the following:

-------
These dumps were to tape FURV01.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: FURV02.

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  localhost  /.furvbackup lev 0 FAILED [disk /.furvbackup offline on localhost?]

Why my amanda fails? Is the syntax of disklist bad or wrong?

comment: The owner and group of /.furvbackup and softlinks are root:root.
