Thanks for addressing this so quickly.
I'll put your patch into pkgsrc for now until 3.3.8 is released and we
update to it.

Thanks very much for the hint.

use a tape: device but amanda is configured without tape drive support".
The problem is that the tests for the tape drive don't include the
required prereqs; I realize the rules for this differ
Greg,
Looks like your amanda does not support tape device.
Check for the configuration log file (config.log) to find why.
Maybe some required package are not installed.

I just updated a machine to amanda 3.3.1 (slightly old I know) via
pkgsrc, which as far as I know builds amanda pretty normally.
The amanda.conf has:
tapedev "/dev/nrst0"
which is a file in /dev:
crw-rw 1
