John,
first of all, amanda seems to be running. I can make amdump and amrestore
but I need further testing. Nevertheless here are the answers:

It looks like to be 1.1-240 (included with the suse 7.1 distribution).
The chg-zd-mtx runs when you change in readstatus()
...
sed -n 's/Data Transfer Element 0:Empty/-1/p;s/Data Transfer Element
0:Full (Storage Element \(.\) Loaded)/\1/p'`
into
sed -n 's/Data Transfer Element:.*Empty/-1/p;s/Data Transfer Element:.*Full (Storage
Element \(.\) Loaded)/\1/p'`
Perhaps it's a different response of this Overlan changer. Anyway,
with this changes the error
[: -lt: unary operator expected
disapeared.

BTW, the day befor I had a question regarding the error
changer: opening pipe to: /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -slot next
taper: slot /usr/bin/mt:: no tape online
I got rid of this error by inserting a seep 100 in loadslot()
...
# If there is an error, abort unless the slot is simply empty
if [ $status -ne 0 ]; then
empty=`echo $result | grep "is Empty"`
if [ -z "$empty" ]; then
echo "$loadslot $result"
exit 2
else
loadslot next
fi
else
# ==> inserted sleep 100 so the tape has time do calibrate
# and get ready
/bin/sleep 100
# Don't assume the drive is ready until we stop getting tape off
# line
....
