What's in your changer config file?

-sh-3.2$ more changer.conf
changerdev=/dev/sg3
havereader=1
offline_before_unload=1
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=1
poll_drive_ready=10
Max_drive_wait=99
unloadpause=20
driveslot=0

Try to set firstslot and lastslot in the changer.conf file:
firstslot=1
lastslot=16

I did this, and it comes back with:
-sh-3.2$ amtape dailyfull show
amtape: scanning all 16 slots in tape-changer rack:
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1
slot   1: time X              label week1tape1

What's the output of : mtx -f /dev/sg? status

MTX looks fine:

-sh-3.2$ mtx -f /dev/sg3 status
 Storage Changer /dev/sg3:1 Drives, 16 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 1 Loaded)
     Storage Element 1:Empty
     Storage Element 2:Empty
     Storage Element 3:Empty
     Storage Element 4:Empty
     Storage Element 5:Empty
     Storage Element 6:Empty
     Storage Element 7:Empty
     Storage Element 8:Empty
     Storage Element 9:Empty
     Storage Element 10:Empty
     Storage Element 11:Empty
     Storage Element 12:Empty
     Storage Element 13:Empty
     Storage Element 14:Empty
     Storage Element 15:Empty
     Storage Element 16:Empty

What's in the debug file?

-sh-3.2$ more changer.debug

What's that? chg-multi
Which changer are you using? You should use chg-zd-mtx

What is your tpchanger: amgetconf dailyfull tpchanger

-sh-3.2$ amgetconf dailyfull tpchanger
chg-zd-mtx

It must be set to chg-zd-mtx
