Your label string says each tape must be labeled with a unique
string after the "word" DailySet1 consisting of a dash and "3" digits.

Note that this error is being brought to you by the chg-zd-mtx command.
Almost always, the chg-* scripts will need some tuning for the local
environment. One mtx version does not print the same string, for the
same type of drive, as the next.
For debugging you can (as amanda-user) cd to the config dir (?daily?).
The run chg-zd-mtx directly to manipulate the changer.
