To use chg-zd-mtx, yes.

chg-zd-mtx is just a shell script.  There's a (large) comment block at the 
top of the script that walks you through setting up your changer.conf 
file.

Leave it where 'make install' put it and you don't need the full path in 
amanda.conf.

That's up to you.  ISTR a lot of Solaris folks using chg-scsi as well.  If
