I am trying to get bacula-sd 1.38.11 running on my debian sarge box 
(bacula via backports) using a Exabyte packetloader1x10 /w VXA-3 drive 
connected to a 39160 SCSI card.  In the "Testing your tape drive with 
bacula" chapter i can write and read the drive with tar, the btape 
'test' section works, and btape 'fill' works if manualy operate the 
changer with mtx for the second tape.  The problems start with the 
btape 'auto' test where i recieve the following messages...


=== Autochanger test ===

3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded" command.
Slot 5 loaded. I am going to unload it.
3302 Issuing autochanger "unload 5 0" command.

The test failed, probably because you need to put
a longer sleep time in the mtx-script in the load) case.
Adding a 30 second sleep and trying again ...

dev.c:1524 Attempt to WEOF on non-appendable Volume
btape: btape.c:1198 Bad status from rewind. ERR=dev.c:1524 Attempt to 
WEOF on non-appendable Volume


the second block just repeats over and over.  From how i read that it 
sounds like the tape is write protected, yet when i drop out the test 
and try to write to the tape it has just loaded with tar, it works with 
no issues.

This is how my Autochanger and Device resouce look...

Autochanger {
  Name = DevserverPacketloader
  Device = VXA3Drive
  Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
  Changer Device = /dev/sg2
}

Device {
  Name = VXA3Drive
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = VXA
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  AutomaticMount = yes;
  AlwaysOpen = yes;
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  RandomAccess = no;
  AutoChanger = yes
  Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}


Hopefully i am doing something glaringly wrong here, any suggestions?
