I believe you have the 'tapedev' specified wrong.  At least when using 
chg-scsi, that is a number only that points to the config number in 
chg-scsi.conf because it can contain more than one changers 
configuration info, therefore its the config number.  In my case its 
the first and only, but thats beside the point.  It looks like this 
in amanda.conf:

tpchanger       "chg-scsi"      # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev         "0"     # the no-rewind tape device to be used
changerfile     "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/chg-scsi.conf"

And of course make sure you are using a consistent name for the 
changer.conf file.
