This is the 2 errors I get when I run amlabel. Does anyone know why?
I've attached my amanda.conf file and changer file. Thanks for any advice.
cannot determine first slot
amlabel: could not load slot "current": line 31: Product: command not found

### USER CONFIGURATION
# Name of the tape drive (takes place of "tapedev" option in amanda.conf)
# and default driver number in library (usu 0) that DRIVE_NAME points to
DRIVE_NAME="/dev/nst0"
DRIVE_NUM=0
# Location of "STC" command and control device
MTX_CMD="/usr/local/sbin/mtx";
MTX_CONTROL="/dev/sg0";
# Whether tape drive must eject tape before changer retrieves
# (ie, EXB-2x0). Usually okay if set while not necessary, bad if
# required but not set.
DRIVE_MUST_EJECT=1
# How long to check drive readiness (in seconds) after mounting (or
# ejecting) a volume (on some libraries, the motion or eject command may
# complete before the drive has the volume fully mounted and online,
# or ready for retrieval, resulting in "Drive not ready"/"Media not
# ready" errors). Do an "mt status" command every 5 seconds upto this
# time.
DRIVE_READY_TIME_MAX=120
# tape "mt" command location...
MT_CMD="/usr/bin/mt" # called via "MT_CMD -f DRIVE_NAME rewind" &
# "MT_CMD -f DRIVE_NAME offline" to eject
# and "MT_CMD -f DRIVE_NAME status" to get ready info

# The advantages include: tape drive is more likely to operate in streaming
# mode (which reduces tape and drive wear, reduces total dump time); multiple
# dumps can be done in parallel (which can dramatically reduce total dump time.
# The main disadvantage is that dumps on the holding disk need to be flushed
# (with amflush) to tape after an operating system crash or a tape failure.
# If no holding disks are specified then all dumps will be written directly
# to tape. If a dump is too big to fit on the holding disk than it will be
# written directly to tape. If more than one holding disk is specified then
# they will all be used based on activity and available space.

# If amanda cannot find a tape on which to store backups, it will run
# as many backups as it can to the holding disks. In order to save
# space for unattended backups, by default, amanda will only perform
# incremental backups in this case, i.e., it will reserve 100% of the
# holding disk space for the so-called degraded mode backups.
# However, if you specify a different value for the `reserve'
# parameter, amanda will not degrade backups if they will fit in the
# non-reserved portion of the holding disk.
# reserve 30 # percent
# This means save at least 30% of the holding disk space for degraded
# mode backups.
autoflush no #
# if autoflush is set to yes, then amdump will schedule all dump on
# holding disks to be flush to tape during the run.
# The format for a ColumnSpec is a ',' seperated list of triples.
# Each triple consists of
# + the name of the column (as in ColumnNameStrings)
# + prefix before the column
# + the width of the column, if set to -1 it will be recalculated
# to the maximum length of a line to print.
# Example:
# "Disk=1:17,HostName=1:10,OutKB=1:7"
# or
# "Disk=1:-1,HostName=1:10,OutKB=1:7"
#
# You need only specify those colums that should be changed from
# the default. If nothing is specified in the configfile, the
# above compiled in values will be in effect, resulting in an
# output as it was all the time.
# The names of the colums are:
# HostName, Disk, Level, OrigKB, OutKB, Compress, DumpTime, DumpRate,
# TapeTime and TapeRate.

# Amanda needs a few Mb of diskspace for the log and debug files,
# as well as a database. This stuff can grow large, so the conf directory
# isn't usually appropriate. Some sites use /usr/local/var and some /usr/adm.
# Create an amanda directory under there. You need a separate infofile and
# logdir for each configuration, so create subdirectories for each conf and
# put the files there. Specify the locations below.
# Note that, although the keyword below is infofile, it is only so for
# historic reasons, since now it is supposed to be a directory (unless
# you have selected some database format other than the `text' default)
infofile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo" # database DIRECTORY
logdir "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs" # log directory
indexdir "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/index" # index directory
#tapelist "/usr/adm/amanda/DailySet1/tapelist" # list of used tapes
# tapelist is stored, by default, in the directory that contains amanda.conf
# tapetypes
# Define the type of tape you use here, and use it in "tapetype"
# above. Some typical types of tapes are included here. The tapetype
# tells amanda how many MB will fit on the tape, how big the filemarks
# are, and how fast the tape device is.
# A filemark is the amount of wasted space every time a tape section
# ends. If you run `make tapetype' in tape-src, you'll get a program
# that generates tapetype entries, but it is slow as hell, use it only
# if you really must and, if you do, make sure you post the data to
# the amanda mailing list, so that others can use what you found out
# by searching the archives.
# For completeness Amanda should calculate the inter-record gaps too,
# but it doesn't. For EXABYTE and DAT tapes this is ok. Anyone using
# 9 tracks for amanda and need IRG calculations? Drop me a note if
# so.
# If you want amanda to print postscript paper tape labels
# add a line after the comment in the tapetype of the form
# lbl-templ "/path/to/postscript/template/label.ps"
# if you want the label to go to a printer other than the default
# for your system, you can also add a line above for a different
# printer. (i usually add that line after the dumpuser specification)
# dumpuser "operator" # the user to run dumps under
# printer "mypostscript" # printer to print paper label on

# dumptypes
#
# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
# certain parameters for dumping including:
# auth - authentication scheme to use between server and client.
# Valid values are "bsd" and "krb4". Default: [auth bsd]
# comment - just a comment string
# comprate - set default compression rate. Should be followed by one or
# two numbers, optionally separated by a comma. The 1st is
# the full compression rate; the 2nd is the incremental rate.
# If the second is omitted, it is assumed equal to the first.
# The numbers represent the amount of the original file the
# compressed file is expected to take up.
# Default: [comprate 0.50, 0.50]
# compress - specify compression of the backed up data. Valid values are:
# "none" - don't compress the dump output.
# "client best" - compress on the client using the best (and
# probably slowest) algorithm.
# "client fast" - compress on the client using fast algorithm.
# "server best" - compress on the tape host using the best (and
# probably slowest) algorithm.
# "server fast" - compress on the tape host using a fast
# algorithm. This may be useful when a fast
# tape host is backing up slow clients.
# Default: [compress client fast]
# dumpcycle - set the number of days in the dump cycle, ie, set how often a
# full dump should be performed. Default: from DUMPCYCLE above
# estimate Determine the way AMANDA does it's estimate.
# "client" - Use the same program as the dumping program,
# this is the most accurate way to do estimates,
# but it can take a long time.
# "calcsize" - Use a faster program to do estimates, but the
# result is less accurate.
# "server" - Use only statistics from the previous run to
# give an estimate,
# it takes only a few seconds but the result is
not
# accurate if your disk usage changes from day to
day.
# Default: [client]
# exclude - specify files and directories to be excluded from the dump.
# Useful with gnutar only; silently ignored by dump and samba.
# Valid values are:
# "pattern" - a shell glob pattern defining which files
# to exclude.
# gnutar gets --exclude="pattern"
# list "filename" - a file (on the client!) containing patterns
# re's (1 per line) defining which files to
# exclude.
# gnutar gets --exclude-from="filename"
# Note that the `full pathname' of a file within its
# filesystem starts with `./', because of the way amanda runs
# gnutar: `tar -C $mountpoint -cf - --lots-of-options .' (note
# the final dot!) Thus, if you're backing up `/usr' with a
# diskfile entry like ``host /usr gnutar-root', but you don't
# want to backup /usr/tmp, your exclude list should contain
# the pattern `./tmp', as this is relative to the `/usr' above.
# Please refer to the man-page of gnutar for more information.
# If a relative pathname is specified as the exclude list,
# it is searched from within the directory that is
# going to be backed up.
# Default: include all files
# holdingdisk - should the holding disk be used for this dump. Useful for
# dumping the holding disk itself. Default: [holdingdisk yes]
# ignore - do not back this filesystem up. Useful for sharing a single
# disklist in several configurations.
# index - keep an index of the files backed up. Default: [index no]
# kencrypt - encrypt the data stream between the client and server.
# Default: [kencrypt no]
# maxdumps - max number of concurrent dumps to run on the client.
# Default: [maxdumps 1]
# maxpromoteday - max number of day for a promotion, set it 0 if you don't
# want promotion, set it to 1 or 2 if your disk get
# overpromoted.
# Default: [10000]
# priority - priority level of the dump. Valid levels are "low", "medium"
# or "high". These are really only used when Amanda has no
# tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded
# mode", as many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk
# are done, higher priority first, to insure the important
# disks are at least dumped. Default: [priority medium]
# program - specify the dump system to use. Valid values are "DUMP" and
# "GNUTAR". Default: [program "DUMP"].
# record - record the backup in the time-stamp-database of the backup
# program (e.g. /etc/dumpdates for DUMP or
# /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists for GNUTAR.).
# Default: [record yes]
# skip-full - skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow full backups
# outside Amanda, eg when the machine is in single-user mode.
# skip-incr - skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This is used in
# archive configurations, where only full dumps are done and
# the tapes saved.
# starttime - delay the start of the dump? Default: no delay
# strategy - set the dump strategy. Valid strategies are currently:
# "standard" - the standard one.
# "nofull" - do level 1 dumps every time. This can be used,
# for example, for small root filesystems that
# only change slightly relative to a site-wide
# prototype. Amanda then backs up just the
# changes.
# "noinc" - do level 0 dumps every time.
# Unfortunately, this is not currently
# implemented. Use `dumpcycle 0'
# instead.
# "skip" - skip all dumps. Useful for sharing a single
# disklist in several configurations.
# "incronly" - do only incremental dumps. This is similar
# to strategy 'nofull', but will increase
# the dump level as usual. Full dumps will
# only be performed when an 'amadmin force'
# has been issued
# Default: [strategy standard]
#
# Note that you may specify previously defined dumptypes as a shorthand way
# of defining parameters.
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
# This is quite useful for setting global parameters, so you don't have
# to type them everywhere. All dumptype definitions in this sample file
# do include these definitions, either directly or indirectly.
# There's nothing special about the name `global'; if you create any
# dumptype that does not contain the word `global' or the name of any
# other dumptype that contains it, these definitions won't apply.
# Note that these definitions may be overridden in other
# dumptypes, if the redefinitions appear *after* the `global'
# dumptype name.
# You may want to use this for globally enabling or disabling
# indexing, recording, etc. Some examples:
# index yes
# record no

# network interfaces
#
# These are referred to by the disklist file. They define the attributes
# of the network interface that the remote machine is accessed through.
# Notes: - netusage above defines the attributes that are used when the
# disklist entry doesn't specify otherwise.
# - the values below are only samples.
# - specifying an interface does not force the traffic to pass
# through that interface. Your OS routing tables do that. This
# is just a mechanism to stop Amanda trashing your network.
# Attributes are:
# use - bandwidth above which amanda won't start
# backups using this interface. Note that if
# a single backup will take more than that,
# amanda won't try to make it run slower!
