This is a showstopper Josh. Either you need to label more tapes for
amanda's use or whatever as amanda thinks there is already a backup
on that tape, and will refuse to overwrite it until "tapecycle"
tapes have been used since the last time this tape was written to.
Amanda will not normally append to an existing backup because of the
uncertainties of where on the tape it is unless it has total
control of the drive in one contiguous run.

One could, with a lot of hand editing, do that. However amanda
needs to know that the tape is fubar so amanda can remove the
indices and such associated with that tape, see the manpages
please. Once that is done, then you can label a new one to replace
it, but amanda will then use it when she asks for it, which may not
be in the proper numerical order for humans to use. Amanda doesn't
care as long as the tape she is supposed to use is available when
she needs it.
