Hi, have you tried to read back an amanda-image from your tape? i had such a nice setup with an ide-tape apearing to work nice with amanda for some month, but at the time i had to recover a file i couldn't read a single file from tape. As far as i recall the safest way to use this ide-tapes under linux is activating scsi-emulation for the drive and then acess it via /dev/nst[0..n] the linux ide-tape-driver seems to have some problems with the way amanda uses tape drives. at least with some tape drives.
