Hello all - is there a way to get more information out of chg-scsi? 
I'm trying to debug a wierd issue:

amanda@lpdlnx00 LPD $ amcheck LPD
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 36514756 KB disk space available, that's plenty
amcheck-server: could not get changer info: could not read result from
"/usr/libexec/chg-scsi"

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 0 hosts checked in 0.001 seconds, 0 problems found

I'm able to move tapes around, read them, etc using mt and mtx.  Yes,
I know that I could use chg-zg-mtx, but I'd like to find out why this
is happening for curiosity's sake, if anything.

If I run chg-scsi directly, this is what I get:

amanda@lpdlnx00 LPD $ /usr/libexec/chg-scsi -info
No device found for tape eject

And 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
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

Thanks!
