I think most people just let amanda run onto holding disk, amflush when 
they get back, and go merrily along.  Yes, this may mean that your 
"monday" tape is no longer used on monday, but that's why I use numbers 
and let amanda tell me which tape it wants.  Also, one tape error will 
throw off your tape<->day correlation anyway.

Just my $0.02.
