Hi Stephen,

>From amanda man page:
       amrecover_changer "string"
              Default: ''.  Amrecover will use the changer if you use 'settape
              <STRING>'  and  that string is the same as the amrecover_changer
              setting.

>From amrecover man page:
       settape [[server]:][tapedev|default]
              If  you  want amrecover to use your changer, the tapedev must be
              equal to the amrecover_changer setting on the server.

You can use any string for amrecover_changer, but you must use the same string
for the settape command in amrecover.

Could you provide your amidxtaped.<timestamp>.debug file?
