I've got 2 of the above 4 tape library machines, one here that 
works great, and one at work thats killing me.

I can take the exact same chg-scsi.conf and amanda.conf files to 
work, modifying only the sg# numbers in them because the work 
machine doesn't have a cd writer, so the changer then is sg1 
instead of sg2.  One thing that bothers me is that in 
chg-scsi.conf, I have scsitapedev defined as /dev/sg1, but at 
work it refuses to accept that  when set for /dev/sg0 too.

Immediately (10 seconds or so) after launching a run of amcheck, 
it echos a 'chg-scsi: got exit: 4 3 1 1' line.  It never attempts 
to scan the magazine, nor actually report what tape is in the 
loaded slot, and goes on to report no other errors found.

I could use some hand holding.  These two drives, mine is near 
new, the work site one is about a year older I think, and this 
one loads the magazine, but not the first tape in it, that one 
cannot sit on the SEL SLOT report on its front panel without a 
tape being loaded.  2 different personalities without a doubt.
