Sorry - hit the send button prematurely there.

If I put the full path to the device into chg-scsi.conf instead of the
symline, I get this:

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: open:
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target1/lun0/generic: Success

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

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p2)

With the full path to the scsi devices in chg-scsi.conf, amcheck
executes in about a quarter second, so that doesn't seem right.
