I think you're misreading the message.  The first line says that amanda failed
to write a DLE to tape weekly1 beacuse the tape was full.  The second line
says that it retried taping DLE zeus:/hmssql.0 on a new tape [the last attempt
failed because the first tape was full].  There's nothing there that says that
zeus:/hmssql.0 didn't make it on to tape.

The same goes for the 3rd and 4th lines w.r.t. athena:/F.0.

If those dumps really had failed to tape, there would have been a big NOTICE
IN ALL CAPS up at the very top of the report stating that some DLEs had
failed to tape.
