When you remount the ama volume you must re add the tape name. Most people find that giving the clips a tape name that matches the bin name is the quickest way to do this and makes it easy to duplicate the tape naming. Whether it's necessary I don't know but I'm of the mind set that anything you can do to add stability to the relinking process is a good thing. Some have intimated that there are negative side effects to adding the tape name. I know there are when dealing with standard Avid imports but in my limited use of ama the reel names have helped the process even with Red footage. YMMV

That, in addition to the fact that I've relinked (admittedly) simple sequences without setting a tape name makes me think (hope) the step is unnecessary.
