I issued a second "update slots" command (and a third, actually), but it is
still not showing the needed volume listed in slot 20 - the mailslot. When it
says "Issuing Autochanger 'list' command," it only outputs the catalog record
for 19 slots and their resident volumes.
Thanks for working through this with me.
