What version of Amanda?

What's in /tmp/amanda/changer.debug*? You may want to empty it out,
then try the command to reduce the old chatter. However, read on ...

Your configuration file values don't look right based on the mtx output.
The first storage slot appears to be 1, not 0 (slot 0 is the tape drive,
a.k.a. "Data Transfer Element").
And I don't think cleanslot should be in the firstslot .. lastslot range
(based on the example in the script comments). So I would think lastslot
is OK at 7 but the cleaning cartridge should be in slot 8 and that's what
cleanslot should be set to (this is all guesswork, mind you).

None of these do anything in the changer.conf file (and the MTF one is
wrong, anyway). If the values in the script are not right, you need to
change them there or set things up so ./configure finds the right stuff.
