Why would you assume it has a tape in it when the OS specifically told
Amanda it didn't?

Probably not the right tape device.  You want the no-rewind name, which
as a guess is /dev/nst0.

What did you use when you ran amlabel?

Where you have "st0" is supposed to be the disk name, not the tape
device name.  So it should probably be something like:

  server2        /        always-full
  server2        /var     always-full
  server2        /home    always-full
