Thanks so much, Paul.  I've installed the 2003-11-07 snapshot and made
the above change to my amanda.conf, and amrecover now uses the changer! 
Should the amanda man page be changed to specifically state that
amrecover_changer should be the name of the tape changer script you're
using and not the name of a tape or changer device?  A great many of the
other readers of this list, as well as me, interpreted the present man
page as meaning the latter.
