I'm running amanda 2.5.2p1 under NetBSD.  since updating, I've been
getting bogus warnings from the planner about overwriting full dumps:

amadmin default find aragorn.poofy.goof.com /disk/conraid :

my tape numbering is not contiguous.  the above is a complete list of
tapes.

from amanda.conf:

dumpcycle 5 days        # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 5          # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
tapecycle 13 tapes      # the number of tapes in rotation

that's one dump per day, as shown above...  how does the planner figure
I'm going to overwrite DailySetA11 in 5 runs?  is there something that
needs to be kicked?
