Line breaks would be appreciated.


I see no indication that you have confirmed that
there is or is not a label on the tape at this time;
just that last nights run did not find it.

Have you tried amtape to load the tape and then the
amtape "current" command to show what label is there if any?

Or have you tried doing a dd of a single 32K block at the
start of the tape (that is where the label is located).

Has Daily000012 ever been used by amanda before so that
you are sure it once had a label?

Labels with long strings of repeating chars can be a
problem to type.  Is the number of zeros consistant
everywhere they should be (4 zeros in your message).
