I think I know what the problem maybe, though I do not know the solution:

The test that I did with chg-zd-mtx works only if I run it in 
the /usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily directory.

If I do it anywhere else, I get the exact same error as amtape does:

bash-2.05$ pwd
/export/home/amanda
bash-2.05$ /usr/local/libexec/chg-zd-mtx -reset
<none> changerfile must be specified in amanda.conf

bash-2.05$ set | grep PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/local/lib
MANPATH=:/usr/local/man
PATH=/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/libexec

Based on changer.c, amtape simply exec / calls chg-zd-mtx, so the error is the 
same.

What must I do so that chg-zd-mtx will work from any directory ?
I must have missed a very simple step.
