Problems solved:

1) changing my Tandberg tape drive with an ARCHIVE VIPER 150 (a known rogue
one) made all the configuration work fine with /dev/nrst0 (thanks to Robert
for the hint on the strange behaviour of the Tandberg).

2) The floating exception was caused by some xxxxCYCLE 0 that are badly
handled by amanda. In the 2.3.0 documentation I've read that putting 0 in
the cycles forces amanda to do a full backup, but my 2.2.6 version probably
doesn't handle correctly the zeros.
