No, --with-config is largely ignored, and the name of the vtape
directory need not match the name of the configuration.

It's certainly possible that there's a bug here - I'm just baffled as
to what's going on.

The location for 'amandates' can only be set at configure time.
However, amandates is rarely, if ever, used, so I don't think that the
overlap is a problem.
Can you add some debug prints to Amanda/Changer/disk.pm?
494 # TODO: locking
Amanda::Debug::debug("set_current: symlinking $curlink to slot$slot")
495 symlink("slot$slot", $curlink);
and
471 if (-l $curlink) {
472 my $target = readlink($curlink);
Amanda::Debug:debug("get_current: $curlink = $target");
473 if ($target =~ "^slot([0-9]+)/?") {
and see what appears in the amcheck-device debug log?
