If you are in a linux environment why dont'use mtx (and amanda chg-mtx or
chg-zd-mtx) instead of chio?
HP1553A (DDS-3 autoloader with 6 tape magazine?) does not have a separate
scsi address for the changer, so you can use /dev/nst0 (or whatever your
tape drive is indexed) as your tape device and as your changer device in
amanda configuration.
