I don't understand. Do you really mean you're running amcheck **after**
you run amdump? Why? Usually it's run **before** amdump so any problems
it finds can be fixed before the run.

This says that even though *you* thought DailySet109 was the next tape
to be used, Amanda thinks the next tape should be DailySet108 and that
DailySet109 is still active.
It sounds to me like your tape sequence is confused, or you are not
getting the right (from Amanda's point of view :-) tape mounted at the
right time.
How are you deciding what tape to mount?
What happens if you run "amadmin <config> tape"? Does it show the tape
you expect to be used next (I guarantee it is showing the tape Amanda
expects to see next)? If you mount that tape, is amcheck happy?
