Hi Tom,
Your changer file is not use.
What is the full path of your changer file?
What's your changerfile in amanda.conf?
>From the chg-zd-mtx script:
####
# Now you are ready to set up the variables in the changer configuration
# file.
#
# All variables are in "changerfile".conf where "changerfile" is set
# in amanda.conf. For example, if amanda.conf has:
#
# changerfile="/etc/amanda/Dailyset1/CHANGER"
#
# the variables must be in "/etc/amanda/Dailyset1/CHANGER.conf".
#
# If "changerfile" is a relative path, it is relative to the directory
# that contains amanda.conf. That also happens to be the directory Amanda
# makes current before running this script.
