I assume you put to old tape to trash and ran 'amlabel -f' with the same label to a new tape? Have you done something else?

Amanda told you that it can't use the tape loaded in the changer, nobody can tell you why without more informations. Your best option is to check what is loaded:
$ amcheck CONF
$ amtape CONF show
$ amtape CONF taper

Hello,

one of my tapes was broken. So I labeled a new tape with the broken
tapes label. The incremental backup on the new tape was ok, but the
full dump this night failed with "*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No
more writable valid tape found].".

Perhaps this was not the right way to remove a broken tape and
amanda got messed up. So how is the right way to replace a broken tape?

Best regards
