reuse tape issue

[ahall]

Hello,

This morning I needed to overwrite an old tape.  I looked in the tapelist
file and my tape is listed as reuse.  If I try to flush data to that tape
I get the error "cannot overwrite active tape".  Must I run an amrmtape
before I can reuse a tape?  I feel I am missing some piece of this puzzle,
so if one could shed some light.  Thanks again in advance for your help.
