This is due to problems invoking "ps", to try to get a list of active
Amanda processes.  Can you take a look at Amanda::Process, and at your
own configuration (is $Amanda::Constants::PS empty??), and the
behavior of your local "ps" executable, and see if you can suggest a
fix?

Hmm, what are you using to do backups?  Did you look in some of the
debug logs to see if you can find out why?

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand here -- where is there a lastslot
configuration for chg-manual?  What exactly was the problem, if it
sent you emails for each new tape?
