My understanding was this, if there was only a G# in the A minor scale, all 'peices' in that scale would only use the G# and not other sharps randomly?
Well, the other accidentals aren't random. Most likely, if you're seeing a D# in this case, it's probably part of a B7 chord, leading to an E7 chord, which then resolves to an Am. I'm not sure which waltz you're talking about in Carcassi's Op. 59--there are a lot of them. Are you working from the original method printing or a reprint?

Anyway, if your question is whether the D# is correct or a misprint, it's hard to say without knowing the specifics. But I suspect it's correct.
