Craig,

Great, I see from the other messages that you made a lot of progress.
Don't know if you've worked with changers before, the mtx config file
in the amanda config directory has been updated to reflect the number
and ids of the tape drives and the correct number of slots and all ?

Mine looks like this

[nnewton]: /usr/local/etc/amanda/ninfo > cat chg-zd-mtx.conf
firstslot=1
lastslot=9
#cleanslot=3
AUTOCLEAN=0
autocleancount=99
havereader=1
offlinestatus=0
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0
max_drive_wait=500
driveslot=0

Are you using amdump commands for further testing or are you 
using the amtape command ?
