Arrrrrgh !!!
something like
echo -en "A\nY\n" | /path/to/amflush -f config
is working. ( Arrrgh again! ;)
What about the amanda database if i set up a "flush to nirvana" config
with /dev/null. Would it do any better or other than erase the images,
the index files and the log files.
I think I read somewhere that the behavior of amanda has changed about
the meaning of /dev/null. Amanda didn't let me use the /dev/null device,
ioctl error or something, cannot rewind, wrong tape etc., so I came up
with the simply-delete-the-stuff solution ...

works fine for four month now (in testing phase even without tape)!
