You need to 'amrmtape' the broken tape.  As soon as you do, amanda will 
want a new tape on the next run (since you'll have < tapecycle tapes in 
your rotation), which you'll of course need to amlabel.  So you may want 
to wait to do this until the tape comes around again in the rotation, if 
you want to keep things in order.

OTOH, depending on circumstances, you may want to do it immediately, so 
amanda will know that whatever was on that tape is gone, and can schedule 
backups accordinglyl.
