If you want to restart a specific tape just tell
Amanda it has failed:
amrmtape <config> <tape label>

I also have a small test (for network testing :-) ) which shows all
remove commands to really restart a configuration:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

while sleep 30; do
    rm -r /usr/local/amanda-2.4.4b1/var/log/test/* \
        /usr/local/amanda-2.4.4b1/var/lib/test/curinfo/* \
        /usr/local/amanda-2.4.4b1/var/lib/test/index/* \
        /usr/local/amanda-2.4.4b1/etc/amanda/test/tapelist*

    rm /dumps/tape-file/amanda/data/*

    amlabel test test-1
    amdump test
    echo amdump done `date`
done
