If this is a new setup and you're stll just testing, you could amrmtape that tape and relabel it until you're ready to go into production, but this is a separate issue from your current problem below. > NOTE: skipping tape-writable test > Server check took 0.013 seconds > > Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check > -------------------------------- > WARNING: server.domain.co.uk: selfcheck request timed out.

That's why you're getting the 'selfcheck timeout' error. You need one for amanda on each client (and on the server in the usual case of it also being a client), and one for amandaidx and amidxtape on the server.
