Ok.

This should be:

tpchanger "chg-disk"    # the tape-changer glue script
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf"
# Just noticed that I have "changer.conf" here and not "changer" ...
tapedev "file:/amandatapes/DailySet1"
changerdev "file:/amandatapes/DailySet1"
amrecover_changer "chg-disk"

You don't need rawtapedev.

Maybe because it really has to be "changer.conf" as noticed above. If
yes, another bug in the howto, but I wonder why noone else has hit
this before ...

Run "ldconfig".
