I have resolved the problem but not sure how.
I changed
device-property "BLOCK_SIZE" "1024k"
to
device-property "BLOCK_SIZE" "1 mbytes"
and I rebooted the system.
My amflush is running with out the errors.

My amanda.conf file shows the following block size
device-property "BLOCK_SIZE" "1024k"
I relabeled the tape to be sure I had to correct block size and still
get the errors.
I have been running with this setup for the last several months. why
all the sudden would the block size change on me?
Thanks
Robert

As a followup I see the following entries in my debug file
/tmp/amanda/server/daily/taper.20110227231047.debug. Does this give any
clues?
