Is it worth trying to just remove the “state” file (rename it to
<yourname>.save for instance)
and letting amanda recreate it?
When my label reader glitches and reads the label differently than it read it
last time I used this tape,
I just remove my state file and it proceeds to recreate the whole file. If
the tapelist file includes the different data,
I edit that. Not the tape name, but the reading of the tape label.
However, this wouldn’t find the problem in the code.

my config, fwiw:
amanda 3.3.8
Linux
HP Storever MSL4048 tape library
taperscan "taper_lexical"
define changer LTO5-Robot {
tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/changer"
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/LTO5-Robot-state”
## <<— this file is deletable
property "tape-device" "0=/dev/nst0" # 1=/dev/nst1 is for archive
config
property "eject-before-unload" "no"
property "use-slots" "1-44" # 45-48 are for archive config
property "load-poll" "0 s poll 3 s until 120 s"
property "fast-search" "true" # has barcode reader
device-property "BLOCK_SIZE" "512k" # from man amanda-changers.7
