Its possible that the new drive uses a diferent scenario for 
accessing the drive vs the changer.  Some use LUN 0 for the drive 
and LUN 1 for the changer, and some will use a different scsi bus 
address for the changer.

 /var/log/dmesg might contain some clues about this, and you may 
even have to rebuild amanda from the newest snapshot as the devices 
used are compiled in.

Oh, and much of amanda will not allow itself to be run by root, 
security measures and all that.
