Have you configured and labeled any virtual tapes?
Do you have a "tapelist" file with reasonable entries created by amlabel?
Can you use amtape to select a tape?

Even if you do not build and install the latest amanda version,
I'd encourage you to download it an take a look in the doc's directory.
There is a new "how-to" for disk based operations.
