Looks like the mtx-changer script takes too long... > 11-Jan 00:12 mneme-fd JobId 15630: Fatal error: job.c:1817 Bad response to > Append Data command.

The autochanger might be stuck, or rather, mtx doesn't return but waits indefinitely.

Storage daemon configuration, Device Resource, "Maximum Changer Wait" directive (iirc, this takes seconds, without qualifier, as an argument, not something like "10min"!). Also, you might run the mtx-changer script with debug output to a file and observe what it does, and were it stops doing things.
