Amanda schedule backups and coordinates running them.  Period.  All 
communication with loaders and tape drives is via standard OS utilties.  
So, get your OS talking to the loader and tape drive, and then worry about 
amanda.  Look at utlities like mt (for the tape drive) and mtx (for the 
loader), and, if you have problems, come back with *much more information* 
(OS and version would be a great start).
