Hi Everyone,
I have been using amanda to do backups to a tape drive for a while,
but we recently decided to start doing backups to a RAID system.
I downloaded amanda-242-tapeio from sourceforge, and the compile
and install went fine. The only problem is I can't get it to work...
Sorry for the length of this message, but I am guessing that the best
way to get help is to provide as much (possibly) relevant info as possible.
Since I think the most likely source of error is my configuration, I am
including the config files at the top. After that are various output from
amanda software. Thanks in advance for any help...

I assume that the warning is not meaningful??? When I do
[amanda@raid1 test]$ /usr/local/sbin/amdump test
it returns in a couple of seconds, and the mail report is:

Although the various files in /tmp/amanda don't show any errors that are obvious to
me, I included them below in the hopes that more experienced eyes will detect the
problem:
