My apologies for lowering the S/N ratio of the list: I'm barking up the wrong tree: it must have been the tape itself, or the drive (an Exabyte Magnum224) --though all I did was run amtapetype, like so
nohup /usr/local/sbin/amtapetype -o -e 400g -f /dev/nst0 -t LTO3-400G

Hi, After some trouble with an rpm version of amanda, I tried compiling the latest amanda on my system, starting with ./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=disk --with-tape-device=/dev/nst1 --with-change-device=/dev/sg5 --with-config=Daily But after this, /dev/nst1 times out even with the mt command. So I'm wondering whether this is pure coincidence, or whether the new amanda has anything to do with this... I'm running a test with another tape just in (probably likely) case I'm barking up the wrong tree.
