Not it at all Nathan, the backups are in the vtapes with zero errors 
logged. See my previous post a few minutes ago. There is either 
something goofy in the $config or a nilmerg, and the only thing I see 
thats odd is:

that link from tapelist.last_write -> 27062 is dead, there is no 27062 
file to be found. WTH is that? And how can that be causeing the 
erroneous amadmin due's.

So I'm apparently plumb bumfuzzled at this point. Help! Where is JLM when 
I need him.
