runspercycle won't matter a whole lot, since it's the number of runs in dumpcycle. Any value > 0 should be ok.
tapecycle should be the number of tapes you're rotating through, which you said was 7.
If you want to align the cycle like that, you'll need to hack the order you feed in the tapes or the tapelist file.
If you can wipe all of your tapes and your tapelist, just amlabel tape 0 before you put it in for the Sunday run, then amlabel 1 before the Monday run, and so on. By next Sunday, you'll be ready to cycle backup to tape 0.

Subject: correct amanda.conf syntax
i am trying to setup amanda so that it runs a full backup every day of the
week. i would like to use 7 tapes, one tape for each day. i know that
dumpcycle should be 0 so that i always run a full dump, but what should
runspercycle and tapecycle be? also, how will the cycle align itself? i
would prefer to put my 'tape 0' in on sunday and then put my last tape,
'tape 6' in on saturday....
