You seem to have mixed some terms, leading to a slightly unusual
directory structure.

Maybe get this done first.

See for example

http://www.amanda.org/docs/howto-filedriver.html#id333812

especially Step 6 for an example how the dirs should look like.

You have
tapedev "file:/export/amanda/vtapes/tape1/slots"

For example: Why call it "tape1" ?
Your config is called "OrgName" ...

Check amdump.1 for details, you should find it in
/export/amanda/adm/BlueFrog (according to your cfg).

Post parts of it here if needed.
