Ok that's good to know. If it turns out that an explicit inventory
is needed, say, after an unload, I'll add it.

So far chg-zd-mtx is behaving, and amtape is also behaving:
-sh-3.1$ /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -slot next
2 /dev/nst0
-sh-3.1$ /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -slot current
2 /dev/nst0
-sh-3.1$ amtape Daily reset
changer: got exit: 0 str: 1 /dev/nst0
amtape: changer is reset, slot 1 is loaded.
-sh-3.1$ amtape Daily slot next
changer: got exit: 0 str: 2 /dev/nst0
amtape: changed to slot 2 on /dev/nst0
-sh-3.1$
Now for the strace of amcheck Daily:
it starts promisingly enough until it hangs on the
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL, 8) = 0
open("/var/log/amanda/amcheck.temp.5536",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0600) = 4
unlink("/var/log/amanda/amcheck.temp.5536") = 0
clone(Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /home/amanda/holding-disk: 104765 MB disk space
available, using 104665 MB
child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0xb7efabc8) = 5537
clone(child_stack=0,

child_tidptr=0xb7efabc8) = 5539
wait4(-1,
... the wait completes and then
wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 1}], 0, NULL) = 5539
