Hi Paul,
Do I need to specify the DT-2400 like that, and in addition to the
PT-25. I ask because the DT-2400 is a tape cartridge and I thought only
the drive's specifications were needed. Do I understand that you do not
have a separate tapelist? Thanks for the response.
Harry.

There only two main configuration files (those two).
For the syntax see "man amanda", sectino "TAPETYPE".
In short: add the directives to amanda.conf:
define tapetype PT-25 {
length 1206 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 179 kps
}
define tapetype DT-2400 {
...
}
You could also use the "includefile" directive of amanda.conf
and make a separate tapelist file with the above contents.
Then add the line:
includefile "/the/path/to/your/tapelistfile"
instead in the amanda.conf file.
