Tapelist

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me with a confusing situation i've
gotten myself into...
First of all, I have configured and tested Amanda to satisfaction, and
am ready to use it in production. Thus, I found and followed the steps
in this FAQ:
http://www.amanda.org/docs/faq.html#id346890
Ok, I'm done with testing /Amanda/, now I want to put it in production.
How can I reset its databases so as to start from scratch?
First, remove the `curinfo' database. By default, it is a directory,
but, if you have selected any other database format (don't, they're
deprecated), they may be files with extensions such as .dir and .pag.
Then, remove any log files from the log directory:
|log.<TIMESTAMP>.<count>| and |amdump.<count>|. Finally, remove the
|tapelist| file, stored in the directory that contains |amanda.conf|,
unless |amanda.conf| specifies otherwise. Depending on the tape changer
you have selected, you may also want to reset its state file.
This I did, and now, when running amcheck i get:
"/etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist", line 82: disk dumptype expected
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
----------------------------------
ERROR: tapefile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tapelist: No such file or
directory, you must create an empty file.
So, I search for the permissions the empty file needs to be created
with, but stumble upon this:
http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man8/amanda.8.php
TAPE MANAGEMENT
The /tapelist/ file contains the list of tapes in active use. This file
is maintained entirely by Amanda and should not be created or edited
during normal operation.
So.... Now that i have amanda all set up, and have all my tapes properly
labeled, I have deleted my tapelist file, and don't know where to go
from here!
Thanks in advance for any help!
