I rebuilt with this patch, and it does indeed fix the problem with
"-otaperscan=":

=====
root@tumhalad:~# amgetconf TestBackup taperscan -otaperscan=taper_oldest
taper_oldest
=====

(The patch suppresses the duplicate error messages from the override
settings as well:
=====
root@tumhalad:~# amgetconf TestBackup taperscan -otaperscan=bad
argument '"bad"': Unknown taperscan named: bad
amgetconf: errors processing config file at /usr/sbin/amgetconf line 363.
=====
)


I haven't found any problems caused by the patch in quick post-install
testing; I'll double check that all the cron jobs run okay tomorrow as
well.
