Hello folks

I'm using Amanda with DVD-RAM disks on my home network, and it's working
fine.  One slight irritation is that when I use 'amcheck -ta' (via a
cron job) to tell me which disk to use next, I get the following emailed
to me:

==========
Subject: 76awd AMCHECK REPORT: NO PROBLEMS FOUND

ERROR: /dvdram/data/: No such file or directory
ERROR: /dvdram/data/: No such file or directory
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
rewinding tape: Input/output error

        (expecting tape 76awd013 or a new tape)
Server check took 0.032 seconds

(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.0p2)
===========

It says 'NO PROBLEMS FOUND' despite not finding the correct disk in the
drive.  It used to work properly, with amcheck setting a return code and
only sending the email if the correct disk was not found.  Now it always
gets a zero return code, so I have to make it always send the email.
I'm not sure which version of Amanda introduced this change.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

regards

Chris
