Are there any errors reported when you create the backup?
How big are the database files you are trying to backup? some versions of tar have problems with very large files. Its possible that you could have a bad drive, or that it needs to be thoroughly cleaned. You said that you cleaned it, but I have been in the situation many times of being stuck using an old cleaning tape that was no longer effective. Just some possible suggestions...

amrmtape
AMRMTAPE(8) System Manager's Manual AMRMTAPE(8)
NAME
amrmtape - remove a tape from the Amanda database
SYNOPSIS
amrmtape [ -n ] [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -d ] config label
DESCRIPTION
Amrmtape invalidates the contents of an existing backup tape in the configuration database. This is meant as a recovery mechanism when a
good backup is damaged either by faulty hardware or user error, e.g. the tape is eaten by the drive or is overwritten.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
OPTIONS
-n Generate new tapelist and database files with label removed, but leave them in /tmp and do not update the original copies.
-v List backups of hosts and disks that are being discarded. Enabled by default.
-q Opposite of -v.
-d Run in debugging mode so all executed commands are shown.
EXAMPLE
Remove tape labeled DAILY034 from the DailySet1 configuration.
# amrmtape DailySet1 DAILY034
