If not specified explicitly, retention-tapes gets calculated as 1 less than the "tapecycle" setting. What settings do you have for "runtapes" and "tapecycle" in your config? (In my current test environment for 3.4.3, I have runtapes=1 and tapecycle=14; with those values, "amcheck" is happy, and "amadmin <CONFIG> config" reports a retention-tape value of 13 for the implicitly-created policy.)
