reading label \fBlabel\fR, tape is in another amanda configuration
-This tape appears to be a valid \fBAmanda\fR tape, but label does not match \fBlabelstr\fR for this configuration so it is probably part of a different \fBAmanda\fR configuration\&.

-no label found, are you sure \fBtape\fR is non\-rewinding?
