With cronjobs, or as part of the amdump cronjob, could you do some
pre-amdump and post-amdump activity.  For example, if you install
or modify amanda.conf to have a non-existant device as tapedev,
that would be the equivalent of not inserting a tape.  Then after
amdump, you could install/modify amdanda.conf with the correct
tapedev and do the amflush.  (or a check for total amount of data
in the holding disk to determine if you want to amflush yet)
