fatal error in tpchanger

[lley]

I have an Amanda installation on a Debian server. Amanda works with virtual tapes (i.e. directories). During the upgrade from Debian 6 (Squeeze) to Debian 7 (Wheezy) Amanda was upgraded from version 2.6.1p2 to version 3.3.1. Since then it seems to me that the tapechanger doesn't work anymore.

If I run a normal dump, the dumps stay in the holding disk. In the mail summary I get the error message:

FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
taper: FATAL Expected an unsigned 64-bit value or smaller; value '9444732965739290426368' out of range at /usr/lib/amanda/perl/Amanda/Changer.pm line 1680.

The same message I get after trying to transfer the dumps to the "tapes" via amflush, or even if I try to change the "tape" manually by

/usr/sbin/amtape tagesbackup slot 8

(tagesbackup is the config name).

The active tpchanger config in amanda.conf ist

------------------
define changer my_vtapes {
tpchanger "chg-disk:/usr/data/0/tagesbackup"
property "num-slot" "22"
property "auto-create-slot" "yes"
}
tpchanger "my_vtapes"
------------------

I changed the config from the old chg-disk version to the new one. That didn't have any effect on the error.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I add some lines from /var/log/amanda/server/tagesbackup/taper.*.debug:

with the old chg-disk version:
