Let me further qualify that in that for the flush testing sessions 
of the tests, I had changed the runtapes setting in my amanda.conf 
from 1 to 4, so it was permitted to use the whole magazine full at 
the time.  I repeated this twice, once for amflush, and once for 
amdump with the autoflush option turned on.  I've left that on 
FWIW.
