Well I've made it a little further now. Atleast I can run different
commands and not get immediate errors. When I try to run amtape show I get
errors. Below is a dump of the logs from /tmp. Any thoughts from anyone?
bash-2.04$ /usr/sbin/amtape DailySet1/ show
amtape: scanning all 7 slots in tape-changer rack:
amtape: could not load slot /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx:: [: =: unary
operator expected
bash-2.04$ less /tmp/amanda/amtape.20010626133019.debug

bash-2.04$ less /tmp/amanda/changer.debug.drive0
Tue Jun 26 13:30:20 EDT 2001 Invoked with args '-info'
STATUS -> currently loaded slot = -1
INFO -> current slot -1, last slot 7, can go backwards 1
Tue Jun 26 13:30:20 EDT 2001 Invoked with args '-slot current'
STATUS -> currently loaded slot = -1
LOADSLOT -> load tape from slot current
-> loading tape from slot to /dev/nst0
-> status 1, result 'mtx: No source specified'
Also my amanda.conf:
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" # 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)
#changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/changer"
#changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/changer-status"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer"
changerdev "/dev/sg4"
And changer.conf
firstslot=0 #### 1st tape slot
lastslot=7 #### Last tape slot
cleanslot=7 #### Slot with cleaner tape
# Do you want to clean the drive after a certain number of accesses?
# NOTE - This is unreliable, since 'accesses' aren't 'uses', and we
# have no reliable way to count this. A single amcheck could
# generate as many accesses as slots you have, plus 1.
# ALSO NOTE - many modern tape loaders handle this automatically.
AUTOCLEAN=0 #### Set to '1' or greater to enable
autocleancount=99 #### Number of access before a clean.
havereader=0 #### If you have a barcode reader, set to 1.
offlinestatus=0 #### Set to 0 if 'mt status' gives an
#### "offline" when drive is offline.
#### Set to 1 or greater if 'mt status'
#### doesn't give and offline, rather an
#### "ONLINE" when drive is online.
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0 #### Does your tape driver require a
#### 'mt offline' before mtx unload?
