Are you able to write any significant amount of data (more than Amanda's 32

No. tar gives "Write error: Operation not permitted".
That's a different error than amanda is getting. What user did you try
this as? Try again with root and/or the amanda user.
I'm at a loss here, is anyone else using the Quantum DLT-S4 with amanda?
I would appreciate any enlightenment or ideas of what to try next.
So far this looks like an OS/hardware issue, *not* an amanda issue. Work
on being able to read/write (with dump or tar) large amounts of data
from/to your tape drive. Once you've got that working without issue,
bring amanda back into the equation.
As to the original system logs you posted, I agree with Toomas that it
looks awfully like a hardware or driver issue. Perform all the usual SCSI
voodoo (do *not* skip the goat sacrifice), and possibly swap out any
components/cables you can.
