Amanda will always accept a new tape, but it suggests the oldest
reusable tape in the tapelist file (unless there aren't at least
tapecycle reusable tapes in the cycle), and it will accept any tape
that is at least as old as the tapecycle-th newest reusable one.
Since your tapelist has more than 4 tape labels, you've probably
re-labeled some tapes with labels different from the ones they already
had. Just remove the older entries from the tapelist and Amanda will
start suggesting the right tapes. Alternatively, you may ignore the
suggestion and just keep giving it acceptable tapes.
