ahh, there's the rub :)

you probably have tapecycle set to "N" but because of the "no-reuse"
you only really have "N-1" tapes in rotation.  But you told amanda
with the tapecycle setting not to overwrite ANY tape until "N" tapes
were used.  Thus you need to add a new tape into the rotation or reduce
the value of tapecycle.
