I had some similar trouble once when my holding disk went bad. You
might try reading each file from the disk in its entirety. For
example:
dd if=/home/amanda/20010829/bertha._usr2.1 of=/dev/null bs=32k
Check that the records in/out that dd reports matches the file size.
If that works for all of the images and dd doesn't report any IO errors,
then I guess the tape is what's left to look at. You might try running
amflush again onto a different tape.
