You need to make sure that mtx actually gives you the changer info, status, etc before you start looking into the amanda problems.

Aloha,
I've installed the amanda on linux 7.2 from the rpms that came with the os.
I'm unable to make the chg-zd-mtx changer script work with mtx.
I've tried both mtx.1.2.13 and mtx.1.2.17 - they both say this:
Anybody got a clue as to why I get the 'badly formed result from changer' error?
Thanks everybody.
