Well, there was a tantalizing hint already included in the output you
posted to the list, so you may not need to actually chage the script for
that part.
Perhaps you shoud just go ahead and post the script; that would at least
let us see what what script processing matches up with the output you
posted earlier.

Off hand, I am thinking there is a bug in the amstatus Perl code which
gets triggered when you have a two-tape run, and then also a fix needed
in your shell script so that PARTS_WRITTEN is always set correctly and
the script can properly deal with a two-tape run.
(Because you only see the error for the double-tape runs, I'm less
inclinded to suspect a Perl upgrade is the issue [rather than a more
general bug in amstatus, as it parsess the Amanda log file], but we may
need to wait until the next time it happens before we can track it
down.)
