I'm using mtx too, but remember that the HP C1557A does not have a separate
scsi id for the changer, but shares the some ID with the tape drive ...

This is mine, hope this is usefull for you too:

# tape drive
tapedev "/dev/nst0"     # the no-rewind tape device to be used
changerdev "/dev/nst0"  # the no-rewind tape changer device
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"  # the tape-changer glue script

My amanda tape server box is a linux redhat 5, amanda 2.4.1p1, zd-mtx.
