I think I'd try and switch to chg-mtx as you've already noted that mtx
itself seems to support it. I used chg-scsi for quite a while, but
it has some problems that have never been addressed, such is a
(apparently, I was not able to make it work) missing rewind function.

I do not know. Reading the srcs might be enlightening. I'd assume it
might become part of the tapelist's data, but never having had a
reader, thats just a SWAG.
Mmm, I see below that you installed from rpms. Thats been known to
result in config difficulties. Generally, we recommend building the
tarball. Its not that difficult, or time consuming once you have
arrived at a working configure script. I post mine here as a
guideline from time to time so the archives should have a copy. I
can unpack a fresh snapshot in /home/amanda, become amanda and copy
my script into the new snapshots directory, cd to it, run the script,
become root and do a make install, & ldconfig in 5-6 minutes of an
XP-2800 Athlon box.
