It looks like it checked the label on the tape in the drive, saw that
it was the previous day's, tried to get the changer to get the right
tape and then was unable to read the label for some reason (no tape,
wrong tape, drive not ready, etc.) that the changer script couldn't
handle.
   If you rerun amcheck again without touching anything and it is happy,
I suspect that the changer script needs to wait longer after the tape
change before trying to read the label to give the changer time to
insert the next tape and for the drive to rewind.
   Otherwise try watching the library while you run amcheck and see
what it is trying to do, and how far along it gets before it returns
the error.

Good luck,
Frank
