1. The backup runs normally, to the holding disk, but times out writing to
the vtape, so it is all left sitting in the holding disk. I have enough I
can do this for several days.
2. amcheck looks like its working just fine, but is not touching /config/chg-
disk-slot, nor is it updateing the 'data' link in the vtapes slot#
directory. This has been since 08/29 according to the dates on those files
in the config dir, and the data link was left pointing at slot2, which would
correspond to the 08/30 run.
3. If I fix that (and I haven't tried a flush without fixing them, paranoia
reigns), amflush will them finish moving to the vtape, and my subscript can
then do its thing, writing the /config/ and compressed indices tree to the
end of that vtape, and everything looks normal then.

I did know I was supposed to be changing this, manpage please?
Stuff like this really needs to be in the changelog, at least with a see
manpage so-and-so for details line.
