Hi,

My tape library was out of order recently (bent pin).  It's up and working
again now.  amdump, mtx, mt, etc. all seem to be working fine.  I can switch
slots w/ amtape, but for some reason running 'amtape show' fails... here's the
output:

root@godzilla:~# su backup -c "env PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH amtape DailySet1 show"
amtape: scanning all 29 slots in tape-changer rack:
slot 14: date 20051019 label DailySet1025
amtape: could not load slot 15: mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes

I don't really understand this... if i manually load slot 15 w/ amtape it
works fine:

root@godzilla:~# su backup -c "amtape DailySet1 slot 15"
amtape: changed to slot 15 on /dev/nst1

I'm rather perplexed.  I've  tried running 'amtape show' several times now.
It used to work and now it doesn't.  Would this be a hardware issue? (I sort
of think it's not since everything else works... but i've been wrong before).

Here's the output from mtx if that is relevant:

root@godzilla:~# mtx status
