I am experiencing a problem with chg-scsi.  Whenever I execute "chg-scsi -inventory", I get back the following response:
 BarCode == 1 and emubarcode == 1

Our tape-changer is equipped with a bar code reader.  I have set "havebarcode 1", "emubarcode 0" in the chg-scsi.conf file.  But chg-scsi doesn't seem to pickup this information.  When I ran "strings -a /usr/local/etc/libexec/chg-scsi | grep emubarcode", I got the following output:

emubarcode
emubarcode       1   # If you drive has no barcode reader this will try
BarCode == 1 and emubarcode == 1
emubarcode

So it seems that emubarcode is hardcoded as 1 in the binary file.  Is there any way to fix this or force chg-scsi to read the value for emubarcode from the chg-scsi.conf file?

When I run "chg-scsi -genconf", I get the following information:
Count 1
Count 2
Count 3
Count 4

Here are the details about our system:

OS: Redhat 9.0
Amanda version: 2.4.4
Tapetype: AME_225_SmartClean (Exabyte)
Processor: dual processors Intel Pentium III 450MHz.

Your assistance will be much appreciated.
