I'm not sure what I should be looking for.

I don't see anything in amanda's home directory that seems likely,
nor in /tmp/amanda, and there is no /etc/amanda/. The tape library
has a web interface that I use to interact with it. Amanda is
configured to use mtx. I can also use mtx by hand to check on the
library's status, and I have a script amchanger that I wrote that
does that for me.

So, aside from amanda keeping an inventory, and the tapelist that it
has, I'm not sure where else anything would be.
My theory is that the driver for the changer keeps the inventory written
in a file somewhere specific to the changer, but since I don't have a
tape changer myself I am not familiar with that driver and don't know
where to direct you to look, off hand....

Can you post the changer and tape-drive related parameters/sections from
your amanda.conf file?  (I assume the config sections on your two
different servers are essentially the same, right?)
