3.4.2 is buggy, and will reuse the most recent tape. And an attempt to 
build 3.4.3 after the announcement of the bug fixed release blew 
completely up in my face here, so I had to rebuild from the tarball, 
3.3.7p1, which I'd been running for 2 or 3 years, and everything is back 
to mostly normal here.

I posted about it, but no reply's have been forthcoming in 2 days.

Usually, my bug reports have been welcomed. Not this time. The setup 
instructions on this new amanda-security.conf file call for it to be 
owned by root, rw, and readable by everyone else, or chmod 0644, then an 
attempted backup bails out on every local entry in the disklist 
complaining that the file is group writeable when it is not, only the 
owner, root can write according to the perms. So either my whole 
filesystem is screwed, or the new amanda is not yet ready for prime 
time.  And my whole filesystem, wheezy all up to date, seems to be 
working just fine.  The weird part is that it backed up every other 
machine on my local network just fine, no complaints. WTH?
