That's not an out of tape error. It means that raffaello failed and
wasn't able to be dumped to holding disk, probably because the
`reserver' parameter is set too high or at its default of 100% [1]. You
shouldn't add so many level 0 disks at once to AMANDA because it can get
a little confused. Furthermore, it multiplies the problems that can
occur so if you can spread the disks over a few days it may make things
easier for you.

If I read this correctly, GNU tar is saying that it won't backup a Sys V
style named socket. This isn't a major drama because the program(s) that
create them should realise they're not there if you restore and make
them again.

In English that means "I can't find the file /tmp/dav...".

I suspect something went wrong with your tape. Are you certain that it's
OK and doesn't have a hardware fault? We recently found about 5 tapes
that showed intermittent hardware failures and returned ours for
warranty. See if you can write 25Gb uncompressed to that tape (pipe
25Gb's of 1 to tar for example)...
