This was a self-inflicted boondoggle. When I created the extra
vtapes, the ones that were being skipped, amanda kept reordering
the tapelist file in ways I did not want. I found if I marked
the new tapes as "no-reuse" (even though

Jon,
'amadmin tape' list the oldest reusable label, it doesn't use the
taperscan algorithm and it doesn't check what is currently loaded in the
changer.
'amcheck' and 'amtape' run the taperscan algorithm and verify they are
in the changer.

A while back one of my small older drives containing

twin to the new drives, created empty vtapes for the
lost backups from the crashed drive, and added a good
number of new vtapes.
