Does amcheck still say everything is alright?

^^^^^^^^^
That amandad.debug is from an amcheck, not an amdump. Are you getting
backup images in your holding disk? If so, then it's a tape problem.
Look in your system logs for errors relating to the tape device.
Can you dump manually to the tape?
P.S. Please don't send HTML email -- it just wastes bandwidth. And tell
Lookout to put some linebreaks in there somewhere.
