Your amanda.conf file should have a line in it that points at the file 
"tapelist", in my case its:
tapelist "/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/tapelist"

This file must exist, and it must be owned/readable/writeable by 
amanda.  Its sufficient, generally, to just have the user amanda 
touch it to create it with the correct perms.  Also, in the error 
message you quoted, the final 't' is missing, so I'd suspect a typo 
of some sort there.

The "string" specified in your amanda.conf as a regex expandable, must 
match the label you are trying to use.  If not, its not an amanda 
tape.
