Are you using the 2.4.3 version of chg-zd-mtx?  If not, I recommend
using it (it will work fine with 2.4.2p2) -- see the URL below.

I think the following patch fixes that version.  Also, there is a new
copy of the whole thing at:

  ftp://gandalf.cc.purdue.edu/pub/amanda/chg-zd-mtx.sh.in-243

Also, could you send your chg-zd-mtx config file?  I think I understand
how it got into this state, but it would be nice to confirm.

The "0 problems found" is part of the "Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check"
section and only applies to it.  The "Amanda Tape Server Host Check"
section clearly reported an ERROR which would have also set the exit
status non-zero (if you were doing this in a script, for instance).

Thanks for getting back to me about these.
