I'm setting up a system that uses a RAIT of vtapes, and a real tape
drive. I'm attempting to get 3 configs, one the "normal" on that
is used for backups, and one for tape only, and another for disk only.

At present when I try to use amrecover on the disk only config, it fails
I've determined that is because it's trying to use the physical tape
device /dev/nst0 (which is the compiled in default). How can
I properly invoke amrecover to use the vtapes? I'm using chg-multi,
and I'm fairly certain that the changer config file for the disk only
config is correct, but that does not seem to be enough.
