I was deleting old amanda installs that I'd inherited. I accidently deleted 
part of the current installation. I was able to untar the file again and 
reconfigure it. I had the configuration files in a tarball, so I just had to 
untar that to get pretty
much back to normal. I edited the tapelist to make sure the should-be-current 
tape was the last one listed: I moved to the top of the file and zeroed out the 
dates on the entries for tapes that had been used since the tarball was made. I 
then ran
amcheck again, and now I am getting:

Amanda Tape Server Host Check

Holding disk /var/spool/amanda: 36514724 KB disk space available, that's plenty

Server check took 0.716 seconds

How do I get it to restart at tape Server01-0034 ?

Amanda still thinks it is in use.  Actually, it thinks all your tapes are in 
use and
is asking for a new tape.  Does your tapelist still contain as many tapes as
your tapecycle?

P.S. I am sorry to be asking so similar a question to one that I have asked 
before, but I thought I'd done what I was told to do before, and I am still 
stuck.
