Ronny,
My old procedures were very similar to what you described. Since one of the
v7.X upgrades I've found that I am better off using the NMC interface and
disabling the library prior to opening up the library to move tapes in and out.
When finished, I re-enable the library which will go through a hardware and
inventory check which it needs to do anyway. It will take several minutes
before the library returns to the "Ready" state. I am using Linux and
Networker v7.3.3.
