I'm not sure what would cause this.
What OS are you running on?
Take a look at the amverify script and look for the definitions of MT
and MTOPT, e.g.:
MT=/usr/bin/mt
MTOPT=-f
Amverify is sitting there in a loop waiting for the result of running
the mt command to complete successfully. What happens if you set up
the amverify again (don't actually run it) and then do:
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 stat
(adjust the path to mt and the flag as discovered above for MT/MTOPT).

Another thread covered that over the last couple of days. To make a long
story short, you can just rdist (or rsync, etc) the Amanda pieces from
one client to another as long as they are they same basic type of system
(hardware, OS, etc).
