I'm assuming that your ltsn config lives in /usr/local/etc/ltsn?
Just making sure this is the same amanda.conf that amanda is using :)

Almost, it's all inside /usr/local/etc/amanda/ltsn

rawtapedev "/dev/null"  # the raw device to be used (ftape only)

^^^^^^^^^
The above item should be commented out.  Don't know if thats the cause
of the problem though.

I'll try it, but I don't think it's the issue.

changerdev      /dev/ch0    # Jukebox changer

Ahh, here be dragons^^^^

Substitute for /dev/ch0, whatever your dmesg (boot log) identifies the
changer mechanism as.  I'll insert the pieces from mine for an
example of what to look for.  Unforch, its for linux_x86 here, so the
actual device names are going to be different.

From my own dmesg:
