The output of this command prints the following for my configuration:

    $ amadmin DS1 tape
    The next Amanda run should go onto tape DS1-05 or a new tape.
    The next Amanda run should go onto tape DS1-06 or a new tape.

Currently no amdump/amflush is running, so this is what tapes are
required for the next run.  If my 'runtapes' setting was 5 instead
of 2 I presume there would be 5 lines of output.

Would the output during an amdump run be different so one could tell
which tape is the next one needed?
