We are having one bear of a time getting Amanda to work properly in this
environment.

        These dumps were to tape PSSI.001.
        *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: Input/output error]].
        Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
        Run amflush to flush them to tape.
        The next tape Amanda expects to use is: PSSI.002.

We have several Netware volumes mounted to this box via ncp, which are
then to be backed up to this Overland SuperDLT1 system.

There are other problems with amverify, and when we try to use more
DLE's; but, I'm hoping to solve this situation first, then move on to
the others.

What do you think?
