Perhaps. I just quote from http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda-18.html :
"Set the date stamp on the new tapes to the same as the previous tape,
e.g. make them the same for Daily-099 and Daily-100."
So if 005 did have zero, the new 006 should have zero as well. In our
case, 005 didn't have zero, but 20020530.
