I'm havign a problem where I have many empty bags all ready to be used but when I designate sand to be collected we get a message saying there are noempty bags.

this also happened when trying to tan hides when skin was available.

Are they forbidden?

Nope

ive have seen something strange but similiar with barrels. these barrels were empty, but were still considered food barrels. there was nothing in them, there names were that of normal barrels, yet they were treated as if they had food in them. could be the same thign with those bags

also could something be blocking the path to the bags? could the bags already be full?

Are there possibly hauling tasks in queue dealing with them? They won't be touched for work if there's a task made to haul them, whether or not it's currently being done. (Often had this happen with someone making pig iron, then steel, complaining after smelting pig iron that he can't fin pig iron to make steel with. Because the pig iron got queued right away to be hauled to bar/block stores.)

Did you designate an area for sand collecting? 'I' -> 'S' -> Enter Enter?

are there orders set to ignore things in the o menu?  That'll cause all kind of weird problems (as I've noticed when I accidentally unclick one, and wonder why there are bags and doors all over my fortress.  ><)
