No, my message was unclear.  A single drive with chg-manual should
be ok.  But, do you have chg-manual working?  Just because you
specify it as your tape changer doesn't say that.  Have you tested
it as I suggested with amtape?  Can you get it to notify you when
a tape needs changing?  Can you use the several amtape command
arguments to manipulate the tape and the manual changer?
