I'm having problems with amflush and the tapelist.
My backups didn't work last night, so I swapped the tape and
ran amflush. Amflush hung, so I tried to stop it and run it again, without
changing the tape. In order to do that, I ran amrmtape on the tape, and
removed it from the tapelist file. This was apparently a mistake, because now
I can't get amanda to do anything with that tape.

Is there a way to add this tape back into the tapelist so that
I can use it to finish my amflush dump? (I don't actually care if the dump is
any good or not at this point, I just want the thing cleaned up so I can run
regular backups tonight.)
