Over the last several nights I have gotten the following amdump error.

The next 4 tapes Amanda expects to use are: D01013, D01014, D01015, D01016.
FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
  hertz /gauss/export/users-s lev 0  FAILED [too many taper retries]
  hertz /gauss/export/users-s lev 0  partial taper: Error writing block: 
Mysterious short write on tape device: Tried 2097152, got 1052672
  hertz /gauss/export/users-s lev 0  FLUSH while ejecting volume: Can't open 
tape device /dev/rmt/0cbn: Device busy

I understand why I got 

  hertz /gauss/export/users-s lev 0  FAILED [too many taper retries]
  hertz /gauss/export/users-s lev 0  partial taper: Error writing block: 
Mysterious short write on tape device: Tried 2097152, got 1052672

as amanda hit the end of tape. 

I have taperflush=100 and so amanda should eject the current tape and put in 
the next tape, but for some reason I get Device busy

  hertz /gauss/export/users-s lev 0  FLUSH while ejecting volume: Can't open 
tape device /dev/rmt/0cbn: Device busy


I have 

define changer "c4" {
  tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/changer/0"
  changerfile "chg-zd-mtx-state"
  property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/rmt/0cbn"
  property "eject-before-unload" "true"
  property "eject-delay" "5"
  property "unload-delay" "5"
  property "use-slots" "1-30"
  property "load-poll" "0s poll 5s until 120s"
}


I had this error a while back and then it just stopped. I started getting the 
error again for the last several days.

Any ideas why what could cause this.
