The last time that situation came up here Jon, having runtapes > 1 
didn't help.  Due to the lack of a working ioctl for rewind in amanda 
or chg-scsi, it failed.  But thats nothing new.  Apparently I have 
the only system in the world that from amanda-2.4.1 and RH6.2 through 
FC2 and whatever the last amanda-2.4.4/5b/px is, and 3 mobo/cpu 
replacements for where the drive lived, still cannot rewind a tape 
with anything but mt.  Am I nuts?  Rhetorical, please don't anwser 
that!
