I don't know about chg-manual, but tape changer scripts often
require some configuration settings for your environment.
Generally these are documented in the script's comments,
just like amanda.conf is "self-documenting" :)

Tapes must be labeled once, before use.  Whether that is before changing
various options or not is up to your timetable.

Basically yes, but you can always cycle more tapes than the value
of tapecycle.  Tapecycle is a lower limit for too-early overwrite
protection of your data.  It is not an upper limit.
