yeah, maybe it is a timing issue , (the changer isn't the newest) the msgs
didnt seem to be related to the job that was waiting, but i could be wrong.
The issue is that , say, slot 1 is labelled correctly, 2 and 3 not, 4
through 7 Ok. Sometimes it's one failed, sometimes 2, not the same all the
time. Not earth shattering, but non-automatic.
