I'm using chg-multi.  It works under 2.5.1.  When I upgraded to
2.5.1p2, it stopped working, even with no changes to any configuration
file.  With 2.5.1p2, the backups are made to the holding disk, but
nothing gets written to tape.  There's a warning:

    WARNING: No tapedev specified

It's true that the tapedev parameter is not set in amanda.conf, but
that's because, according to the documentation, it's not supposed
to be set when using chg-multi.

As a temporary measure, I have re-installed 2.5.1 on my server
and it's working again, but I'd prefer to be running the same
version everywhere.

I'm attaching my amanda.conf and my chg-multi.conf, in case that
helps.
