Jean-Francois,
Not certain that there are specific versions of chg-zd-mtx,
the headers read

so it doesn't seem to be new. This is the unmodified version that
came with mtx 1.3.8. I'm also recalling some issue about the shell
that the script runs, it is written to use /bin/sh but on my Solaris
system I'd changed it to /bin/ksh at the recommendation of someone
on this (the amanda) list.
I'll give that a shot... it wouldn't disimprove the current result any.
What does your glue script look like ?
Do you think amanda could be taught to use the SGI native "stacker" command ?
thanks,
Brian
