As these are all "unused" tapes, if tape 5 is the only one available,
would amanda use it?
Also, as these are the first use, a little editor rearrangement of the
tapelist file should not upset anything like indicies ... So could the
file be hand edited to:
20011214 Diaria-004 reuse
0 Diaria-003 reuse
0 Diaria-002 reuse
0 Diaria-001 reuse
0 Diaria-000 reuse
0 Diaria-006 reuse
0 Diaria-005 reuse
