Check if the correct tape is used. AMANDA expects the tape given by
amadmin <conf> tape
Check that your tapecycle is set to at least one greater than dumpcycle (amcheck should throw a WARNING on this), otherwise you might try to overwrite a tape that is still in the active dumpcycle. AMANDA prevents you from doing that, so it will refuse to overwrite that tape.
