It looks like you have ('runtapes 4', tpchanger, changerfile, changerdev).

Just a thought, you should be able to do: 'tpchanger chg-zd-mtx'
(not full path), just in case some part of amanda is doing
pattern-match on tpchanger value and not expecting full-path.

That all sounds good.  There should be debug files for changer
and amanda itself in /tmp/amanda (by default) and there should
also be some signs of distress in "logdir"/amdump.*.
