I would reckon it's because you have tapecycle set to a number greater
than 14 in your amanda.conf - If this is the case, amanda's going to ask
for a new tape until it reaches this number.

Looking back at one of your previous posts, you said:

> dumpcycle 1 week
> runspercycle 5
> tapecycle 15 tapes

If you set tapecycle to 14, amanda should ask for tape 001.

Hope that helps,

Simon.
