It is not the problem if you are running Linux. But it does look like
the output of the mtx-changer script is not correct for the 'list'
command. The excerpt from your mtx-changer script looks quite different
from the one installed on my Linux system by Bacula 5.0.2. What version
of Bacula are you using? What is the actual output of:
