Hi,

after trying this and this morning and getting even more confused, I just found out that the tape was faulty.

I inserted an new one, labeled it tape21 (my tapecycle is from tape1 to tape20), ran amflush and everything is working fine. But know the next question.
How do I get the faulty one replaced by the new one ?
I can´t use a scratch file from the old one, as the header is not readable anymore. The tape gone bad was tape11.

Any help is highly appreciated.

This is what I would have tried.

amrmtape daily01 tape11   # To remove your old broken tape
amrmtape daily01 tape21   # You want this tape to be tape11
amlabel daily01 tape11    # To label your new tape as tape11

Maybe you need to do this when you just have run tape10 to get the tapes in the right order. I don't know.
