I got sick of having to cross-check amtape show against amadmin tape and the
list of tapes that we needed to take offsite, so I wrote the attached
program to do all the hard work for me. It's probably not 100% perfect but
I tried to make it not rely on our own specific configuration as much as
possible.
Hope someone else finds it useful; if the amanda-hackers want to include it
they're more than welcome.
