Before deciding to use amrmtape I tried using its
"--dryrun" option.  According to the manpage:

    --dryrun, -n
         Generate new tapelist(5) and database files
         with label removed, but leave them in /tmp
         and do not update the original copies.

While the originals were not touched, there were no
modified versions in /tmp, /tmp/amanda, or /var/tmp.
