Thanks for the response, Jon. It turns out that both questions I asked
(why was amrecover failing and how to get it to work with the changer)
are related.  I found by experiment that I have to "settape /dev/nst0"
in amrecover before it will work, and then also manually load the tape
amrecover says it needs.

I do know of the amrecover_changer parameter, and it is set to
"/dev/nst0"in my amanda.conf, but amrecover still does not change
tapes.  The relevant lines from my configuration are

tpchanger "chg-scsi"
tapedev 0
changerfile "/etc/opt/amanda/daily/chg-scsi-compaq.conf"
amrecover_changer "/dev/nst0"

This does not work with amrecover but I'm unable to find a combination
which does.
