I agree.
Plus:
amtape <confname> inventory
is your friend here, it should display your virtual tapes as soon as you
get things set up ...
example:
$ amtape vtape inventory
slot 0:1: label vtape-001-001 (vtape-005) [retention-no]
slot 0:2: label vtape-001-002 (vtape-005) [retention-no]
slot 0:3: label vtape-001-003 (vtape-005) [retention-no]
slot 0:4: label vtape-001-004 (vtape-005) [retention-no]
slot 0:5: label vtape-001-005 (vtape-005) [retention-tapes]
(forget my 0:1 slot, you should see 1, 2, 3 ...)
