Not sure if this is relevant (first time I label a tape with
2.5.2-20070508 onward) but I got this from amlabel on a test server
running irix 6.5.57m compiled 64bit (CFLAG='-64 -mips4') with the
native sgi C compiler from the 2.5.2-20070523 snapshot:

# su amanda -c "/opt/amanda/spantest/sbin/amlabel spantest spantest-000010 slot 
10"
labeling tape in slot 10 (/hw/tape/tps6d4nrnsv):
rewinding, reading labelamlabel: Empty amanda header: buflen=32768 lsize=32768
Illegal option -- w
Usage:  od [-bcdDfFhoOsSvxX] [file] [[+]offset[.][b]]
        od [-v] [-A addr_base] [-j skip] [-N count] [-t type_str] ...
[file...]
amlabel: strange amanda header: ""
amlabel: Expected: "<Non-empty line>"  Actual: "<null>" , not an amanda tape
rewinding, writing label spantest-000010, checking label, done.
