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.)
