via e-mail from an amcheck run out of the Amanda user's crontab file.

        If I have the old tape loaded in the drive, I get an error about
        the wrong tape loaded in the drive, but again I get nothing from

        amcheck -sm.
                read label `emcpd-006', date `20060711'
                       (expecting tape emcpd-007 or a new tape)

Is there some change or magic switch that I missed or can someone point me
in the right direction to troubleshoot the issue?  Surely, someone else is
using amcheck from a crontab and getting useful results.

Yes, it's a bug:
