Are you using chg-zd-mtx?  What have you set max_drive_wait to in your
changer file?  For my AIT3 drive I must set it to 300 seconds as the
default is not long enough to both rewind and eject an AIT tape
(necessary when you're using a nonrewinding tape device).  I get
similiar errors with max_drive_wait set to the default.  I suspect this
is your problem, particularly since it works for you when using mtx
manually.
