That's what usually happens when the SD was recently started - it
needs some time to settle its tape drive initialization.

So that's ok.

And fit quite well to this.
It might be that, after loading a tape, the tape drive needs more time
to settle to working conditions. DLT can take up to a few minutes...
in mtx-changer, there is a delay hard-coded after tape loading. You
can either increase that time, or activate the
wait_for_drive()-function. I'd prefer the latter.
