What error? That's telling you to mount the tape.

See that line? That says Amanda is going to do the backup and then
**throw the dump away**.
If you want to do a backup into the holding disk only, then set tapedev
to something like "/dev/no-such-device". You will probably also want
to comment out the tpchanger entry.
You may also need to change the "reserve" parameter in amanda.conf (e.g.
to zero) so Amanda will do full (level 0) backups in this "degraded"
mode of operation.
