No a single slash is fine.

Note the original poster had:

   tapedev "file:/space/amanda-vtapes/tape"

but explained that the subdir of amanda-vtapes is "daily" and not "tape"
So this is the correct value:

   tapedev "file:/space/amanda-vtapes/daily/slots"

and you may add as many slashes as you want, as Unix does not
threat those special:
  "ls //"   is equivalent to "ls /"  or even "ls ///////"
