If cron tried to run amanda, but failed due to a missing tape, thats 
still counted against the runspercycle I believe.  If it was ever 
started, that wouldn't count, but amanda does keep track of the dates 
and will know that some catchup is going to be needed, possibly 
overrunning the tapes capacity for the next several runs.
