As you label tapes, amanda will populate a file named 
$CONFIG/CHANGER-barcodes, with a list of tape labels and their 
corresponding barcodes.  Whether or not amanda uses this list, I don't 
actually know.  But it can be very helpful to you at restore time.

To get your barcode reader working, install mtx.
