I have the same problem with my amanda 2.4.3 (FreeBSD 4.7)
I upgraded my FreeBSD ports collection and to upgrade KDE 3.0 -> 3.1 and didn't think of this as a major upgrade (that would affect my systems stability) and therefore have no numbers or anything to bring here for information. But come to think of it, exactly from the point when i upgraded, i'm getting these messages. At first i thought that my one of my tapes is buggy and erased it before relabeling and running amflush. Now second one failed. That made me curious... i was firightened that all of my tapes are ruined (by some magnetic smth or what ever) as they are all in one place. After flushing this tape i put in next one and ran amcheck (i didn't think of this as a sticky problem in the first place and hoped only one of my tapes was problematic therefore didn't precheck previous tapes). Amcheck ran fine and without any errors... i'll find out tomorrow, if amdump also has no errors. Also i can restore from the tape written before upgrade (at least when using dummy hostname amrestore lists all files, I did not try actual restore) If the problem persists, i dig further more into it, so far this is ment as information that this problem has occured elsewere too.
