Hello again,
I created another amanda configuration and set it up to use chg-zd-mtx
since mtx apparently showed accurate information.
Here is the result of just running "chg-zd-mtx -info"
--> "<none> could not determine current slot"
and here is the chg-zd-mtx*debug file
chg-zd-mtx: debug 1 pid 16486 ruid 11600 euid 11600 start time Fri Jun 21 15:42:

What do you think of this?
