Hello:

I'm still working on getting Bacula running here and have it working
well with 2 of 3 tape drives (A Pair of HP DD3 Autochangers C1553A)
however I'm having something of a problem with the 3rd device, an
Exabyte EZ-17 unit.

I can perform the btape test and auto perfectly, however I get in
trouble when working through the test sequence on p.296 of the 1.36.3
manual as shown below, the unload fails. 

What do I need to do to make this function correctly? There is a tape
in the drive from slot 1 which is why its not showing.

At this point the drive is unresponsive to further commands from mt
for example mt -f /dev/nst0 offline fails as does anything else. I'm
guessing the unit needs a power cycle to reset at this point however
I'm not physically in front of it to tell at this time, it still
reports the following mtx status:
