based on your current configuration stated above:

Make as many directories as you desire inside "/usr/local/amanda/backup"

then use a softlink named data to point to the directory that is the 
next "tape"...

I created 10 dirs named "slot_00, slot_01...slot_09" then I rotate 
the softlink ...
Or you could alternatively load the slot into the softlink... either 
way...  :)))

i.e.

ln -s slot_00 data

This is really cool stuff...
