'no-reuse' is exaclty what amanda will do with the tapes:
she will refuse to write on them.

Amanda needs (v)tapes to backup.  They must all have a different
label.  You need at least [tapecycle] number of tapes in the cycle
(note the word "cycle" implies reuse).  If you marked some tapes
as no-reuse, then you must add new tapes (with new labels, not
the same as you already have labelled), until you have [tapecycle]
number of reuseable tapes again.
