Meanwhile, my amcheck cron job started. Unfortunately, I was away from
my desk when the error occured, so I don't know if it happened at the
time the amcheck job started.

Could that amcheck job have cause the I/O error ?

Yes, amcheck does indeed interrupt a running amverify, and is in turn possibly confused by amverify which immediately locks the tape drive again. Yes, it would be nice if amverify was detected just as amdump and amflush are, by amcheck. I'm pretty sure patches would be welcome for this, unless this particular snag is already corrected in amanda 2.4.5.
