I have checked the configuration and I now have the following structure in
my "backup" area:-
/home/spool/backup contains the following
data -> /home/spool/backup/slot1
info
slot1
slot1/data
slot2
slot2/data
slot3
slot3/data
slot4
slot4/data
..

When I run amcheck I get the following for each slot:
amcheck-server: slot <n> : chg-multi : slot is empty

.. and after the listing of slots it reports:
ERROR: new tape not found in rack
       (expecting a new tape)

I still get the same error when I attempt to run amlabel:
amlabel: could not load slot "1" : chg-multi : slot is empty

I have followed the instructions for the RPM included with Fedora and still
I am getting these errors. I appreciate your help, but I am still apparently
missing a key element in the configuration.

TIA
