Here, that would be /usr/local/libexec/chg-scsi. OS diffs no doubt...
I'm using SGI IRIX. (/usr/freeware is the default install prefix for
"unsupported freeware packages", while /usr is reserved for supported
applications/base OS dist, and /usr/local is assumed to only contain files
installed directly from source.)

Word-wrap turned off for saving file formatting...
I'm a chg-scsi user here. It sounds as if you might have the
chg-scsi.conf file "miss-adjusted" :)
You don't mention what changer you have, so the best I can do
is insert my pwn operational chg-scsi.conf file and let you adjust
to suit.
It's a Sony StorStation Lib-81 AIT library (which I ended up purchasing
even though many people on the list recommended OverLand libraries, due to
budget constraints.)
My changer is a Seagate/Compaq 4586np, aka known as a CTL-96
in some circles

I've now created a new config based on yours - I changed changerdev to
"/dev/scsi/sc2d1l0" and dev to "/dev/nrtape", and replaced "/usr/local"
with "/usr/freeware", but left everything else unchanged. I still get the
same behaviour with this setup. Here is the output from various chg-scsi
commands:
# /usr/freeware/libexec/chg-scsi -info
0 4 1 0
# /usr/freeware/libexec/chg-scsi -slot 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# /usr/freeware/libexec/chg-scsi -slot 1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# /usr/freeware/libexec/chg-scsi -scan
name /dev/scsi/sc2d1l0 Changer
Count 1
# /usr/freeware/libexec/chg-scsi -eject
1 /dev/nrtape
Notice that the tape appears to be changed correctly at the point where it
dumps core. I also tried to debug a bit to find out what was going on, but
wasn't very successful; the debugger simply got very confused and didn't
really tell me anything. I've run the commands as super user and "amanda",
with the same results.
I've now also built and installed mtx, though, so maybe I'll just use
chg-mtx or chg-zd-mtx...
