Lucio:

Check to see if some problem has truncated your tapelist file.  If a problem
(e.g., no space left on a device) prevents the tapelist from being created
or
some other problem truncated the file, then you could expect to see a
problem 
like this.  Check to see if there have been any drive faults or other system

events at the time when Amanda started giving you strange results.

All the tapes have already been used at least twice, and during the first
two 
cycles (more or less) Amanda had been telling me what tape number to put in 
the unit. Then a cloudy day it stopped doing so.
