I have a strong suspicion that you are wrong, and the setup was correct.
There is no requirement for data being a symlink.
Note he is using a simple file driver, no changer involved.
And even changer "chg-multi" does not use need data to be a symlink,
only the chg-disk implementation uses symlinks.
The setup is correct, but amanda 2.4.2 does not have a filedriver.
There was already a strong hint about that problem: the commands ammt
and amdd did not exist either.
