That client is broken and must be rebuilt with the proper servername 
in the configuration.

>(null):        DEFAULT_TAPE_DEVICE="/dev/null"

Again, this is not the proper tape device.  That redhat rpm built 
version is broken.

Did I not already post a howto?  In this case I think you are going to 
have to install the compiler, and build from tarball before its going 
to work.

If you install the compiler from rpms, it can then be removed when you 
are done, just keep track of which packkages you put in so you can 
cleanup when you're done.
