That worked! Interestingly, doing an `amcheck -s daily` after that fails just as before. The
amanda.conf uses taper_oldest.
So, maybe if I temporarily go to the different algorithm, it will work. Right now the backups are
already running and dumping to holding disk. That will likely terminate when out of space, and in
the morning I can initiate a new run with the amanda.conf changed.

So you are saying that the taper log from last night goes up through the
lines that look like
Thu Oct 08 23:30:04.244060162 2020: pid 18920: thd-0x28b4800: taper: mtx:
Storage Element 48:Full :VolumeTag=CLN002CU
Thu Oct 08 23:30:04.244209614 2020: pid 18920: thd-0x28b4800: taper:
NEO200x48: updating state
, then switch to the warning lines from oldest.pm line 102, and then
aborts suddenly?
It's not getting you an actual solution, but I'm curious if changing to
a different taperscan algorithm in the amanda.conf file (or using
-otaperscan= , if you have any other ones defined already) allow
"amcheck -s" to complete sucessfully (and in any case what the amcheck
log file looks like with the another taperscan algorithm)....
