I experienced the same behavior, and opted for checkl=no.  If you stop and
think about it, when the Library Manager puts the tapes from the I/O
station into cells, it reads the barcodes, making checkl=barcode
redundant, in a way.

It would have been nice, though, assuming this was an intential design
change, to have been notified about this in the README file...
