I've coded a "chg-disk" driver that acts exactly like the "chg-zd" ones.
You use it like that:
--- cut here ---
tapedev "file:/BACKUP2/slots/"
rawtapedev "file:/BACKUP2/slots/"
changerdev "/dev/null"
tpchanger "chg-disk"
--- cut here ---

And everything else is made automatically.

The patch including the driver (and aclocal/autoconf/...) against 2.4.4p1 is available 
at: http://www.elysiria.org/projects/amanda/chg-disk.tgz
