Hi all...

I am having trouble getting ny HP 24x6 autoloader working with Amanda.
It works fine with the mtx and mt commands so I know the drive is
working with Linux ok. I have a RedHat 7.3 box with the Amanda RPM's
that came on the CD.

When I do a amtape daily slot 1
I get this error
amtape: could not rewind [: : integer expression expected: no tape
onlineamtape: changed to slot /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx: on [: :
integer expression expected

And when I do a amcheck daily
I get this
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 4462668 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
amcheck-server: could not get changer info: badly formed result from
changer: "/usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx: [: : integer expression expected"

The trouble is it doesn't tell me where it error is!!

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.085 seconds, 0 problems found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)

I am using the chg-zd-mtx.conf file and this is my changer file. I think
this is where I am missing something..... 

firstslot=1  ### 1st tape slot
lastslot=6   #### Last tape slot
cleanslot=6  #### Slot with cleaner tape

AUTOCLEAN=0  #### Set to '1' or greater to enable

autocleancount=99 #### Number of access before a clean.

havereader=0    #### If you have a barcode reader, set to 1.

offlinestatus=1 #### Set to 0 if 'mt status' gives an
                #### "offline" when drive is offline.
                #### Set to 1 or greater if 'mt status'
                #### doesn't give and offline, rather an
                #### "ONLINE" when drive is online.

OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0

It's driving me mad!! I have been looking back at old posts but I can't
find anything....

Many thanks,

Scott
