Problems with tapedev file:/xxxx on hpux

I am currently having problems with amlabel and amdump on HPUX11.11 using tapedev as "file:/data1/amanda/Archive_File/slots" and the

Chg-disk changer.

When running amlabel I get

>amlabel Archive_File dailyset101 slot 101

labeling tape in slot 101 (file:/var/tmp/Archive_File/slots):

rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape (Read 0 bytes)

rewinding, writing label dailyset101, checking label

amlabel: no label found, are you sure file:/var/tmp/Archive_File/slots is non-rewinding?

I ran “truss” on the amlabel exec and it appears to be creating the file dailyset and then unlinking it?

I created the “disk file sets” with my x86_64 linux box and copied the contents in to the Archive_File directory “using the same configuration” I was not able to backup to the disk set.

although this may have no barring on the problem.
