^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You cannot use the auto-rewinding device with amanda, please use
/dev/nst0 instead.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
what are these? Linux doesn't assign devices according to the bus
address, but in the order discovered during bootup. The tape drive
will be, or should be, coverd by the /dev/nst0 spec, then the changer
is more than likely to be /dev/sg1 if you also have a cdr/w drive.
This is a case of a good read of /var/log/dmesg giving you all of this
info.

Most folks, if they use one, put it in the last slot, in any event do
NOT assign it to a slot thats included in startuse to enduse.

Fix up what I said above, then as the manpages suggest, then repeat:
#>su amanda -c "amcheck YourConfigName" (looks like test?)
fixing the errors, and ignoring the warnings until you don't have any
errors left.
