I'm not a chg-scsi user, but I believe you just define changerfile in
amanda.conf.  chg-scsi does a getconf_str() to find that path, then
opens the config file to configure itself.

docs/TAPE.CHANGERS says the way to use chg-scsi is something like:

tpchanger       "chg-scsi"
tapedev         "1"
changerfile     "/path/to/your/changer_config_file"

Once you specify chg-scsi, tapedev switches meaning to "a pointer to a
configuration number inside changerfile", NOT the actual tape device
(which is, in turn, specified inside changerfile).  But I don't use
chg-scsi myself, I'm just reading docs/TAPE.CHANGERS to you.  :-)
