Thanks! :)
I in fact do have an autochanger, and it loaded the correct tape autmomatically. You can see that it unloaded slot 7 and then loaded slot 3. I verified this with mtx-changer list and saw that the correct tape was loaded. When I unmount the tape, it gets unloaded back to the changer, and then I mount it again, and it proceeds to do its job. Would I enable debugging on the director or the sd to troubleshoot this?
