You must trigger the cleaning rom outside by using the amtape command.

chg-scsi will write to this files if you run the clean, you should also set the
cleanmax value to tell how many times the cleaning tape should be used.

Yes. You can try to set the scsitapedev in you config, chg-scsi will then
try to read some error pages, and if the tape tells cleaning is neede
it will load the cleaning tape, but this might fail if your tape
does not support this infos in the way chg-scsi is looking for it..
