*sigh*  Marketers lie.

Those tapes have 10GB native capacity, and do not do hardware compression.  
The advertised 20GB capacity is assuming 2x compression, which you 
obviously aren't getting.  Crank you tapelength down to the *actual* 
length of 10GB, and let amanda sort it out.  Of course, if you have any 
disk list entries with a compressed size > 10GB, you'll need to split them 
up.
