Thanks Nathan... I have tried the command line without any -o options:

Now the response is "FATAL amvault no 'tape-device' property
specified" which doesn't make sense to me, since the storage
definition includes a tapedev string.
|/define changer "HP G2" {//
// tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/LTOchanger"//

|| tapepool "$r"||

|Try with:
define storage "HP G2 Robot" {||||||
|| tapetype "LTO2"||

Nevertheless, if I manually specify a tapedev in the amvault command line
|/usr/sbin/amvault -otapedev='HP G2' --latest-fulls --dest-storage
"HP G2 Robot" vtl

/Now/ I see the robot cycling through tapes to no avail (progress?),
finally going through the cleaning slot, but... well here is the logfile:|

Obvious oddities:
1. "|device in error: Can't open tape device HP G2: No such file or

2. "|driver fake driver finish"? |

As of 3.4.5 --dst-changer is deprecated, so I have to use a storage
template from amanda.conf. I have defined a storage template as follows:
|define storage "HP G2 Robot" {
tapedev "HP G2"
tapetype "LTO2"
#tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/LTOchanger"
#autolabel "Vault-%"
labelstr "Vault-[1-7]"
}

Now the monthly cron line /I thought/ should be:
|/usr/sbin/amvault -q -otapetype="LTO2" -otapecycle=5
-olabelstr="Vault-[1-7]" -otapedev="HP G2" --latest-fulls
--dest-storage "HP G2 Robot" vtl|
However, this gives me an error message:
|argument 'Vault-[1-7]': labelstr template or MATCH_AUTOLABEL expected
argument 'Vault-[1-7]': labelstr template or MATCH_AUTOLABEL expected

I haven't looked at your full config yet, but a few quick notes:
* The underlying cause of this particular error message from the -o
option is that Amanda is explicitly looking a String object for the
template value. You should be able to work around that quirk
with nested quotes, something like
amvault ... '-olabelstr="Vault-[1-7]"' ...
* That aside, though, it really should sufficient to define the labelstr
in the storage definition itself; you shouldn't need to specify the
labelstr on the command line at all. If that's not working it's
probably worth further investigation to figure out why. (In fact,
with the use of a 'policy' on the HP storage, you shouldn't need any of
the "-o" options on the amvault line, I believe.)
* The Wiki page
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Copy_Data_from_Volume_to_Volume
might have some useful hints.
