If it hits EOT while writing directly to the tape, then the file is
lost.  Thats been true for as long as I've been using amanda, something
like 6 or 7 years now.  So that behaviour is not new. In order for
amanda to try it on a new tape, it would have to restart the DLE from
scratch and amanda has never to my knowledge attempted to do that.
