No! You don't have a problem with your client connections, as you
realized. But have a look at the server report: you don't have any tape
loaded! So, if you only wanted to check the connections and the settings
of your clients, everything is ok. But you can not run amanda/amdump now,
of course. You have to insert a tape.
If you've already inserted a tape, then there's a problem with your tape
drive. It doesn't recognize your tape. Is this the case? I had to cope
with this problem a few days ago. Turned out that the SCSI cable was
broken.
