1235054407.366438: taper: getcmd: NO-NEW-TAPE "runtapes volumes already written"

and everything shuts down.

The question is *why* the write to the device failed.  I don't see any
good clues in the logfile.  What does
  amdevcheck DailyDump rait:{file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape5,tape:/dev/nst0}
give you, now that the perl errors are resolved?
