Do you really need runtapes > 1

No. I have runtapes = 1 in my amanda.conf:

runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-manual" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
rawtapedev "/dev/nst0" # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/gamed/changer"
changerdev "/dev/null"

If you have runtapes = 1, then why do you need a changer?

for verifying that the right tape with the right label is in the
tapedrive and to be able to send an email with the name of the requested tape
to the user who is responsible for inserting the tapes.

bye,
