Peeking at the source shows this value should be the
configuration file value for the location of the tapelist
file.  As it is reported as "null", my first inclination is
there is a configuration error.  What do you get when you do
(as amanda user, what is that user, backup?):

        amgetconf DailySet1 tapelist
        ls -l `amgetconf DailySet1 tapelist`
