The next tape requested is at the top of the amreport email.  Also, 
amcheck can do this for you.  Before the end of the workday, have cron run 
'amcheck -m <config>'.  If the correct tape isn't inserted (or there are 
any other problems), amcheck will email the addresses specified in 
amanda.conf, letting them know this and letting them know which tape it 
wants.
