A little later I will look for a reference to documentation on this, but
in short: I believe the issue is that you are mixing the *name of the
subdirectory* and the *amanda label of on the vtape*.
The Amanda label is what shows up in your interactition with Amanda, and
is actually a name stored in a little header file on your physical tape
or under the vtape subdirectory, to help Amanda keep track of which
tape/vtape is which.
On the other hand, the subdirectories the chg-disk: changer uses to hold
its vtapes are not really designed for direct human interaction... and
they have a built-in naming pattern you can't change.
So, your first step is going to be to rename your subdirectories to
"slot1", "slot2" ... "slot9", "slot10"... (Note that you can _not_
zero-pad the first 9 slot numbers -- "ls -v" may come in handy.)
After that, the amlabel command should work (or at least give a new
error message) ... but note that the "slot" argument takes a slot
number, rather than some sort of name.
