That is what I used Paul
ammt -f <tape-file> rewind.

Okay, but if you specified /dev/null as your tapedev in amanda.conf,
you are *not* using disk-pseudo-tapes; you are simply leaving files
in your staging area.

If you were using disk-pseudo-tapes, you would have a tapedev of "file:/some/directory/name" and "ammt -f file:/some/directory/name rewind"
would work fine.
