I used chg-multi for multipe "file-tapes".

Think of it this way, /data is your "library" of tape drives.
chg-multi is intended for using a group of single slot tapedrives.

Then create subdirectories to represent the several drives under
/data.  They can have generic names, drive1 or slot1, or I named
them according to what I was going to amlabel the tape in that
"drive".  Each subdirectory gets listed as a "slot" in chg-multi.
Each subdirectory also needs a "data" directory.

Finally, use amtape and amlabel to load "the tape" in each slot
and label it as you want.
