[Original note from user follows .sig]

Hadi,

Glad to help.

I note two things right off, in my config

changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/ninfo/chg-zd-mtx"
where you have
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/daily/changer.conf"

I believe I tried it your way originally, resulting in 
amanda being unable to find /usr/local/etc/amanda/ninfo/chg-zd-mtx.conf.conf
since it seems to add the extension by itself.

Second thing I note is that I have a number of parameters in
my config file that you seem to be missing.

My file (for a 9 slot L9 changer, really HP under the hood) contains

[nnewton] /usr/local/etc/amanda/ninfo 6> more chg-zd-mtx.conf
firstslot=1
lastslot=9
#cleanslot=3
AUTOCLEAN=0
autocleancount=99
havereader=1
offlinestatus=0
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0
max_drive_wait=300

Please see if adding first/last slot information to your file helps.
