I just had this exact problem yesterday - in my case, I had to set amrecover_changer "changer" in amanda.conf, and then 'settape changer' at the amrecover prompt. With that, it was able to load the tape by itself. Otherwise, I think you need to manually load/rewind the tape before trying to recover from it. That might not have anything to do with your problem, but I was getting the same error message, and this fixed it. Hope that helps, Fran
