Yes.  Take a look at your tapelist file and make sure it has 25 entries
in it, ignoring any marked no-reuse.  I'm betting you skipped over a
tape someplace in the cycle.  That's not unusual the first time through.

If so, drop the tapecycle down to account for the missing entries and
so "amadmin <config> tape" tells you it wants TAPE01.  Then wait for
the day the missing entries to be next up and increase tapecycle by one
(and check with amadmin again).

An alternative is to find the gap in the tapelist file and duplicate
the line above, then change the VSN on the duplicated (later of the
two) lines, but leave the datestamp alone.
