You wouldn't happen to have patches that bring pkgsrc's amanda up to
2.4.3b3 ?

Currently, if I add 'scsitapedev /dev/enrst0', I can perform one action,
but afterwards it fails with 

 26223 chg-scsi CALL  open(0x8069450,0x2,0xbfbfda08)
 26223 chg-scsi NAMI  "/dev/enrst0"
 26223 chg-scsi RET   open -1 errno 16 Device busy

Again, manually ejecting the tape allows me to perform another operation
etc.

I'm not sure if the udated version would help with this, though...
