Couple of things of the type "is it plugged in?" variety.

- can you manipulate your tape drive with non-amanda commands, eg.
  dd, mt, tar, ...
- did you use real values rather than "config" and "string"
- have you gone throught the amanda.conf file and set the 99 values
  that need conversion from forms such as "string" to things such as
  "/dev/nst0" and commented and uncommented as appropriate
- can you manipulate your tape drive with amanda commands such as
  ammt and amtape
- does amcheck with options for server and client checks give
  reasonable reports
