Running Amanda 3.1.1 on Solairs 10 X86

I am using the 

        taperflush                    100
        #taperflush                    0
        autoflush                     yes

To conserve tape usage. 

It seems that when amdump does not meet taperflush it assumes that this is an 
error and returns exit code 20.

        + /bin/su - amandabackup -c /local/amanda/amanda/sbin/amdump daily -o 
        + diskfile=disklist
        Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.10      Generic January 2005
        + expr 0 + 20
        ckexitcode=20

I looked at the amdump man page but an exit code 20 has to do with dle.

Is exit code 20 in fact the code for not writing to tape because it did not 
meet the taperflush value?

Why does amdump exit with a code in this case since it doing what it is being 
told?

My scripts uses the exit codes for post processing. Can I ignore exit code 20?

Thanks

Robert
