Good. Your next Problem is this line:

> rawtapedev "/dev/nst0"                 # the raw device to be used (ftape
only)

There must be also a "/dev/sg1" line. This must be the SCSI-Device of your
tape, not your loader. /dev/sg2 may be wrong, because it is your loader.

Does "mtx -f /dev/sg2 status" work? Try it first before you try it with
amanda. Then try to load/unload tapes with mtx. And then try it with amanda.
