We have things set up to create weekly archives of full backups using
amvault and have encountered a *strange* problem.  This past week
amvault is giving this error message:

FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
  amvault: FATAL label '60villagedrive-20110710-1' not found

The 'tape' with the label '60villagedrive-20110710-1' has been removed
from the changer -- it is not a real tape changer, but a disk-based on and
the contents of the 'tape' has been burned onto DVDs and deleted, using rm
and not amrmtape, from the changer disk -- we want to keep the label in
the database so we can use amanda to recover from it at some future
time, should that prove necessary.

I have marked this tape as 'no-reuse', but it is still giving this
error. Why? And how do we tell amvault not fail and to use a 'fresh'
tape and label it properly?  Why is amvault looking for an old tape to
re-cycle? 

We are using CentOS 5 and amanda 3.2.0 on a 32-bit machine.
