?Logfiles? I presume you mean dump files.
Why did you have to amflush them?
Did you get a good report from amflush?

Why did you have to do an amcleanup?

Yes, but have any amdumps run since then?
What did your amdump reports say?

Maybe there were no amdumps between Tuesday 7/1
and 7/4. Thus there were no index records for 7/4.
What if you set the date to earlier?

I'd rather see the reports. But looking at your first few lines
of amanda.conf I suspect you are not getting any.

Is that the name of your organization?

Is that your email address?
You can't get the reports mailed to you if it is not.

Do you really run your dumps as root? Most don't.

this won't allow for tapes numbered with more than one digit.

You are not using your holding disk unless you set a reserve value.
The default is to reserve all of the holding disk for degraded mode.

Just to be sure, /usr/am_log/FS3/ is where your amanda.conf file is?

This doesn't look right. Is it in your amanda.conf like that?

Again, this doesn't look syntactically correct.
Is it in your amanda.conf?

Duplicates what was started above.
