Well...
I decided to move the sun dlt7000 over to another
e450 sun solaris 2.7 and give that a shot.
Configure, make && make install.
Things are working now... very strange?!?
Anyways, I'm back up and running.
Now THIS is what I like seeing :)
(*insecure*)amanda@atsun04:/tmp/amanda$ amcheck atlab
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
/apps/backup/amanda: 16798969 KB disk space available, using 16594169 KB.
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test.
Tape atlab01 label ok.

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check

Thanks again for everyone's help in troubleshooting this.
