Hi,
I ran into a similar message :
"
amlabel: could not load slot "1": could not read result from
"/usr/lib/amanda/chg-disk"
"

I found the answer on the forums:

In your amanda.conf, you need to define:
tapedev "file://path/to/your/slots"

Subject: newbie ? - tapeless operation -> amlabel error


Hi All!

I'm new to Amanda and am trying to configure it for
tapeless operation using the instructions in the following
link:
http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/191.html. I'm
down to the labeling in step #5 'Use amlabel to label the
tapes'; however, when I run the amlabel command, I get the
following error:
amanda@melbourne:/usr/src/amanda-2.5.2/sbin$ amlabel
DailySet3 DailySet301 slot 1
amlabel: could not load slot "1": could not read result
from "/usr/src/amanda/etc/amanda/DailySet3/chg.disk"

I'm running VERSION 2.5.2 on Linux.

My 'amanda.conf' file:

... Stuff cut ...

runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of
amdump
tpchanger "/usr/src/amanda/etc/amanda/DailySet3/chg.disk" #
the tape-changer glue script
#tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
rawtapedev "/dev/null" # the raw device to be used (ftape
only)

... Stuff cut ...
