Your problem is your chg-zd-mtx.conf file.  You should  check the amanda lib
directory for the chg-zd-mtx file and read the docs that are in this script.
On my system (Debian GNU/Linux "Woody") this file is located in
/usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx.  I made this mistake myself.  You are using a
configuration for a "chg-scsi" script.  You need to create a new config file
that has the correct configuration information for "chg-zd-mtx".  There is
no sample mtx config file in the /usr/doc/amanda-common/examples folder.
You need to create your own per the instructions in the chg-zd-mtx script
itself.

Here is my CHANGER.conf file.  This is for a Quantum SuperLoader DLT 1280L

firstslot=1
lastslot=16
cleanslot=16
autoclean=0
havereader=1
offline_before_unload=0
driveslot=0
poll_drive_ready=3
max_drive_wait=120


Good luck!
