My Amanda chg-scsi database has become corrupted.....specifically, notice it thinks that there are three tapes residing in Slot 0, and also that there are two copies of CIS-014 and CIS-008, and amanda can't find CIS-017 to use it last night, even though chg-scsi thinks it is there!

Amanda thinks that CIS-014, CIS-026 and CIS-008 are all in Slot 0. What's really in Slot 0 is CIS-026 since according to mtx status, the barcode in its slot 1 (Amanda's slot 0, changer counts from 1, amanda counts from 0) is A0000026.

So where's CIS-014 and CIS-008? Well, Amanda also thinks CIS-014 is in Slot 18 and CIS-008 is in Slot 6, and mtx status confirms this. So what's missing? Well, amanda is complaining that last night it could not find CIS-017, even though chg-scsi thinks it is in Slot 24, and mtx status does indeed tell me that CIS-017's barcode is in that slot.

How do I recover from this?  chg-scsi dumpdb output below.  Thanks!

/usr/local/libexec/chg-scsi -dumpdb
