Generally speaking, Tom, anything that's left in the holding disk, probably
due to a tape error, is still part of the database amanda keeps, so they
should be flushed to the next available tape in the rotation. Otherwise you
are miss-placing valuable info that amanda may need in the future.
The real question is why they were not properly flushed originally.
