Where is the changer defined?

This is from memory, so confirm before using:

chg-zd-mtx wants the changer config file defined in amanda.conf,
but you enter it there without a ".conf" extension.  Still,
I think chg-zd-mtx looks for the file with the .conf.

If my memory is correct, this line from your amanda.conf

changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer"

should be matched by a changer".conf" file.

Will symlinks cause any problems?  I have...

Then, although amanda.conf does allow an entry for changerdev,
like you have done here:

changerdev "/dev/sg0"

I think (again did not check) that it is also defined in changer.conf.
That will take precedence.

Tomorrow 2.5.0* will make it's journey to /dev/null!  2.4 something will take 
its place.
