We still haven't introduced psychic powers in Amanda, so it doesn't
know you want to feed it a new tape instead of the next one in the
cycle. However, it always says it will accept that tape or a new one,
so just ignore its advice.

runspercycle is number of runs per *dump* cycle, not *tape* cycle, so
don't mess up with it. Since you have only one run with full backups,
it might be wise to have it set to 1, assuming you use some trick for
Amanda to only run incrementals on the other days.
