Well here are the permissions for that device:
ls -la /dev/scsi/changer/c3t3d1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 Oct  4 14:52 /dev/scsi/changer/c3t3d1 ->
../../../devices/pci@1d,700000/scsi@1,1/sgen@3,1:changer

and here are the groups for the Amanda user
amanda@prdapp16
[/var/log/debug/server/Full]#groups
staff root sys

So I would think it could use the changer. Also I can run backups using
the chg-mtx glue script.

That seems to resolve the issue with locating mtx, however the error I
get is this now.

/opt/amanda/client/libexec/chg-zd-mtx -info
<none> no slots available

taper: changer problem: no slots available

Here is the output from mtx status:
mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t3d1 status
  Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c3t3d1:2 Drives, 12 Slots ( 1

      Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=EGV012
      Storage Element 12 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

How does I configure Amanda (chg-zd-mtx) to use both Drives (Data
Transfer Element 0 and 1)
Thanks

This happens when configure does not find mt or mtx at configure time
-- it just uses 'mt' and 'mtx', rather than fully qualifying their
paths.  The easy fix is to edit chg-lib.sh, which in the central
location for definitions of these variables.  The harder fix is to
recompile on a system with mt/mtx installed, and with /usr/local/sbin
in the PATH, so that configure can find them.
