Nope -- many of Amanda's internals are changing from version to
version.  If you have scripts that depend on such things, you'd
probably be best served by keeping abreast of new releases, rather
than waiting.

Also, there's a rather flexible C module for analyzing the holding
disk.  If it would help, I'd be happy to talk about SWIGging that into
perl, allowing your script to interface with it directly.
