OK. Stranger by the minute. I removed the first tape (01) and set it up to use the second tape(02). I issued a "amcheck fea" and it said my second tape was OK and that I should be able to backup. I then issued an amflush and it came back with an error. I then rewind the tape with "mt rewind", turn around and issue another amcheck fea, and the tape has an error on it. So, the amflush and/or amdump process is writing something to the tape that causes it to not be usable after that point.
Try "mt -f /dev/st0 status" before and after the amcheck and after the flush.
Any difference?
