That fixed the problem, thx!

So finally I'm getting back to full speed, after the tar 1.13.91 debacle and
the upgrade to amanda 2.5....

I still see this new (since the last amanda upgrade) harmless warning in the
strange results section:

|   taper: ERROR could not mount disk: mount: can't find file in /etc/fstab or
| /etc/mtab
|   taper: ERROR Can't read media info, using defaults: dvd+rw-mediainfo
| returned 'file: unable to open: No such file or directory_', cdrecord -atip
| returned '/usr/bin/cdrecord: No such file or directory. _Cannot open SCSI
| driver!_For possible targets try 'wodim -scanbus'._For possible transport
| specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'._For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see
| the file README.ATAPI.setup from_the wodim documentation._'

I'm using cdrw-taper instead of the normal one (but I don't write to CDs, just
to vdisks).

I guess it tries to pass my tapedev ("file:/scratch/amanda/DailySet1") to
cdrecord or something like that?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
