Didn't catch this the first time, apologies if it's already answered.

You almost certainly don't want chg-multi (which is about using
using multiple non-library tape drives as if they were a library).

You want chg-zd-mtx (which is just a shell wrapper around mtx),
or chg-scsi.

My personal recommendation is to bring up mtx 

    http://mtx.sourceforge.net/

which is handy to have with or without amanda, and if that works,
try chg-zd-mtx.

Strongly recommend 2.4.3 for chg-zd-mtx, even if you're not using
2.4.3 for the rest of amanda; chg-zd-mtx got a good re-write.

Lots of people use chg-scsi also.

If you happen to be Solaris and happen to choose chg-zd-mtx, there
are pointers for the Solaris "generic" SCSI driver, sgen(7D) in
the mtx contrib directory.
