The loader is set to Random.  It looks more like to me an issue with mtx and
the mtx-changer script.  Like i said, it will write for client1-job1, then
it goes to client2-job1 it will move the tape to slot 1 then it won't bring
it back.  I want the tape to continue to fill until it's full.  If it's not
full and I remove it, then it goes to the next tape.
