This sounded like you just added a bunch of new ones.

IIRC, an LTO-1 holds a maximum of 100GB.  Even with runtapes 2, it
will be hard pressed to fit 400GB in one dump.

Is amanda using the second tape at all?  I.e., do you have a functioning
changer amanda configuration?  Did you run out of tape on the second
tape and still have DLE's to go and that is why the message?  Don't
feed us incomplete data and expect complete answers.
