I am running Amanda 2.4.5p1 server on Solaris 10 sparc.

The email from my last daily backup listed the following

These dumps were to tapes daily:100011, daily:100012, daily:100013,
daily:100014.
The next 4 tapes Amanda expects to use are: a new tape, daily:100016,
daily:100017, daily:100018.
The next new tape already labelled is: daily:100015.

My amanda.conf has 

        dumpcycle 6
        runspercycle 0
        tapecycle 28 tapes  
        runtapes 4

"amadmin daily tape" show the following:

        zorn->[105] > amadmin daily tape
        The next Amanda run should go onto a new tape.
                                   tape daily:100016 or a new tape.
                                   tape daily:100017 or a new tape.
                                   tape daily:100018 or a new tape.
        The next new tape already labelled is: daily:100015.

The next tape numbers are correct and the tapes are labeled.


Why do I get "a new tape" as one of the next 4 tapes that will be used.
