I can access (browse) the directory listed in my amandacache (it's named
20060921)
What if I just delete this directory and see if it works then? Maybe the
lack of cache is causing the problem.

I've inserted the cleaning disk, it runs and ejects automatically after 15
seconds.

I've run amflush again, this is what I receive:

The dumps were flushed to tape DATAOND07.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing filemark: Input/output error]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush again to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DATAOND08.

Excuse for this question: but where do I find syslog on linux?

Thx again
