It's really strange, because everything seems OK. If I do it by hand, I get: *mount storage=Tapelib slot=3 drive=1 Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog Using Catalog "MyCatalog" 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 1" command. 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 1", result: nothing loaded. 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 3, drive 1" command. 3305 Autochanger "load slot 3, drive 1", status is OK. 3902 Cannot mount Volume on Storage Device "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0) because: label.c:239 Could not reserve volume 000002L5 on "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0) 3001 Device "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0) is already mounted with Volume "000002L5" *status storage=Tapelib ...

Can it be a catalog problem? However, dbcheck shows no problems. And, by the way, I am using Debian/Squeeze with 5.0.2 (forget to tell yesterday).
