You shouldn't have to touch this beyond the initial creation of the file. I thought I remembered reading someone saying that they had problems if this was not a 0 byte count file, for instance if you did a vi on the file and wrote it out rather than just doing a touch. That could be wrong however. The tapelist file should be written by amlabel, which you should be running as the amanda user, and then updated by amanda as it runs, if I am not mistaken. Make sure that your amanda user has the rights to this directory and file. Josh
