Both of these are triggered to on by the meer presense of the keyword.
A bug in amanda? :( Maybe.

You can probably use the second drive by clipping the first config,
pasting it back in after a 'config 1' line added below the existing
content, and change the drive to the second drive as reported by
dmesg. Don't forget to change the number_configs to show an
additional config is available.
I'm not sure what else might be required, never having had the
pleasure of a large multi-drive library here. :(

Your library holds 25 tapes? Amanda runs in base zero, so slot 24
would be the 25th slot.
