Yes, indeed I have.  Here's my chg-scsi.conf:

number_configs  1
eject           1       # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep           5       # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax        10      # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
changerdev      /dev/sg1
#
# Next comes the data for drive 0
#
config          0
drivenum        0
dev             /dev/nst0       # the device that is used for the tapedrive 0
startuse        0       # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse          5       #
statfile        /etc/amanda/tape-slot  # The file where the actual
slot is stored
cleancart       5       # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for
drive 0 is located
cleanfile       /etc/amanda/tape-clean # The file where the cleanings
are recorded
usagecount      /etc/amanda/backup/totaltime
