Hello Amanda users,

I've just started installing Amanda for my first time and I seem to
have run into a snag.  I am using virtual tapes and the ammt status
check comes back saying they're online but when I try to do a amlabel
or amcheck I get the following.  I hope I didn't send this message
twice, I apologise if I did.  It also looks like I'm having some
issues connecting to the client which I can ping and did install the
client on and did put in the .amandahosts file on both client and
server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I don't want to have to
start again on another server.  If anyone would like to help you can
reach me on gmail talk with my email yahooglesoft AT gmail DOT com most of
the time.

Thanks,
Nick Peterson
