You should probably write a script to do this
but assuming you have just user tar (or somthing
like that) to get the file on the tape, upon
successful completion, you could simply do:
> some_file.log
...this will effectively truncate some_file.log
I suggest a shell so that you can check the
exit code for the tar command then based on
success or failure, the script could then
choose to truncate the file or perhaps send
you an email notifcation of the problem.

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
