The night before one of the machines was down.  Other machines
auto-mounted some partitions on this machine leading to problems
like:

? gtar: ./gen17: Cannot savedir: No such file or directory

Since I had autoflush in amanda.conf I would expect the holding
disks to be drained regardless of what errors happened.  Not so?
Will they ever be flushed or should I just delete them?
