Seems reasonable.

As Tor Slettnes said, if you tell Amanda the tape cycle is 40 tapes,
it wants to use all 40 before wrapping back around to the first one again.
Is there any reason that would be a problem?
In addition to using amcheck (or the E-mail report) to see what tape
Amanda wants next, as Tor mentioned, you can also use:
amadmin <config> tape
