Interesting...  Does it set this whenever a tape is mounted or when?  My
test box (6.1.3) has only a single drive.  Its tapes all have a blank
location field, even when mounted.  I haven't seen this before.

If you blank the location, does it get set to 7 when mounted?  Does it
get set when the tape is labeled?
