This says sda10 was being dumped directly to tape when the world ended.
I don't know why the file is truncated at this point, but it looks like
the system was rebooted, or the disk this file is part of filled up,
or the Amanda user ran into its disk quota, or something like that.

There is no trail of why the sda10 disk failed to make it entirely
to tape.

Is the "40" in your tapetype name meant to imply this device can do
40 GBytes?  Is that compressed or "native"?  If it's the manufactures
compressed number, they lie, big time.  The usual numbers they give are
the native and twice the native for hardware compression.  For instance,
my DLT7000's are 35 GBytes native, so they claim 70 GBytes if I use
hardware compression.  But back here in the real world, I only get about
37 GBytes.
