Hello Amanda folks,

I'm a shiny new Amanda user, with a Dell PowerEdge 6450 server and a
PowerVault 120T tape pod. The server's running RedHat Linux 9 and Amanda
2.4.4p1, with chg-zd-mtx managing the tape changer. mtx is mtx 1.2.18rel,
from ftp.badtux.net. As far as I can tell, I've configured everything
properly, however I've been stumped by one serious error:

# /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -info
<none> no slots available

<snip>

The chg-zd-mtx log does show that something's gone wrong:

chg-zd-mtx: debug 1 pid 26374 ruid 0 euid 0: start at Fri Aug  1 11:21:48

         $1 = "-info"

So-- what gives? If I run amtape, it says that no slots are available, just
like chg-zd-mtx does.
