I'm in the last stage of testing a script I wrote to use a Scalar 100 with
Amanda. I would assume the hardware will respond in a similar fashion.
I plan to post it to amanda-users tomorrow (need to comment some things better,
etc).
In the mean time, can you use the 'mtx status' program (ver. 1.2.10) and see
if it shows output something like this:
[root@reubens /root]# mtx -f /dev/sg2 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg2:2 Drives, 31 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
Data Transfer Element 1:Empty
Storage Element 1 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty
Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=01
Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=02
Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=03
Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=04
Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=05
Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=06
Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=07
Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=08
Storage Element 10:Empty
Storage Element 11:Empty
Storage Element 12:Empty
Storage Element 13:Empty
Storage Element 14:Empty
Storage Element 15:Empty
Storage Element 16:Empty
Storage Element 17:Empty
Storage Element 18:Empty
Storage Element 19:Empty
Storage Element 20:Empty
Storage Element 21:Empty
Storage Element 22:Empty
Storage Element 23:Empty
Storage Element 24:Empty
Storage Element 25:Empty
Storage Element 26:Empty
Storage Element 27:Empty
Storage Element 28:Empty
Storage Element 29:Empty
Storage Element 30:Empty
Storage Element 31:Full :VolumeTag=31
If it does, then hopefully with the chg-zd-mtx script I'm finishing up you will
have full barcode support. That (and a 9 slot capacity) is what I had to
modify.
Let me know what you find...

Just wondering if anyone has ever used Amanda with Adic's Scalar 1000 unit.
The Adic uses DLT 8000 tapes. Server OS does not matter to me, I can use
whatever flavor of Unix
