Yes i do.
The file mentionned by changerfile in amanda.conf must NOT exist or be
empty.

In chg-manual, comment the line
  DD if=$tape count=1 >> $logfile 2>&1

This command reads the beginning of the tape (only to log it) and causes an
Input/Output Error in amanda when it try to get tape label.

Bye
