John,

I think you need to drop the "-rc1 0" part of the command
You are basically telling vmchange to put each tape in the
slot.  The robot is smart enough to know that that slot has
been used and will automatically go to the next one.

Here is the command I use:

$media_type="dlt"
foreach $media_id (000123 000124 000125 ...)

        vmchange -res -m $media_id -mt $media_type -v OFFSITE -e 

end
