I have a tape drive, but it's in a magstar. I am trying to avoid a
manually managed tape library. I have my doubts as to whether they will
give me an independant pool of tapes. Can amanda be a tape manager as well?

Make sure you have a tape drive available and install Amanda (on your CDs).
It handles this pretty well, and can be pretty well automated.
