This doesn't seem to be the case. I checked after loading the next tape 
today and the compression settings are what they've always been.

Also, (say hello to mr. Murphy) the problem doesn't seem to exist at 
all with todays tape. After loading it I checked the Amanda label with 
dd as recommended by Gerhard den Hollander in another message and it 
looked OK. Amcheck was also happy with the tape. Maybe it was just some 
weird random problem with a couple of tapes.
