This is what happens when one tries to bend/kajole or otherwise 
convince amanda to stick to a schedule.  Its immediatly broken on the 
first hardware hiccup.  It can be fixed, by marking the tape you want 
skipped as 'noreuse', but I'm not sure what amanda will do when you 
put it back in circulation.  Most of use look at that as amanda 
showing us a better way since her scheduleer is pretty decent 
overall, and ignore any thoughts of trying to mold her back into our 
'routine' way of thinking about backups.
