My understanding was that Amanda didn't do tape spanning - if someone's
figured out a way to do this, point me to do the doco :)

Amanda can do tape spanning, if you have more than one DLE configured. She just
puts DLEs to the first tape until she hits EOT, then loads second tape and
restarts taping the current DLE, and so on. There are two requirements to 
achieve
this:
1. No single DLE can be larger than one tape
2. You need some kind of changer (or configure chg-manual if you want to use
a human as tape changer)
