If I have a collection of tapes from previous amanda backups,
is there a procedure for determining which set of tapes contain
a complete backup?
I'm assuming you don't have access to the logs/indexes/amrecover.
Actually, I probably do have access to these things, but I'm not yet
sure how to interpret them. Any pointers will be appreciated. (Note
that all recent log files represent backup failures, but the old logs
are still available in the archive area.)

As long as the log files are available, the amandatape script that I
posted a while ago to this list will give you the info that you are
looking for.  You can find it here:
Maybe I've missed something, but I can't see why a special script would be necessary in this case. Why not use the commands already provided as part of the amanda distribution? I mean, like

amadmin <config name> find

or

amadmin <config name> find <host name>

or

amadmin <config name> find <host name> <disk name>
