You got to use a NON-REWINDING tape which is on Linux AND usable by amanda:
/dev/nst0
and chown it to
chown amanda.disk /dev/nst0
Then you could, for example, make a link to it:
ln -s /dev/nst0 amandatape
and use it from
su - amanda
mt /dev/amandatape status
or
/usr/local/sbin/amcheck WHATEVERYOURCONFIGIS
and let you amanda.conf point to it:
# the no-rewind tape device to be used
tapedev "/dev/amandatape"
