If you know the slot number the tape is in ( which can be found by 
manipulating this :   echo "s s" | tldtest -r <scsi path to robot> )
then all you need to do is this :-


echo "m s23 d2" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t2l0      

That will move tape in slot 23 to drive 2 with the robot on path 
/dev/sg/c0t0l0

Hope this helps
