OK, the one that did the trick is the
no_start_init_elem_sts
no_elem_status_check Killed the load ports and we couldn't
load any tapes
no_init_elem_status_check Didn't exist as an option
So, we are again in a happy place thanks to all of the collected
wisdom of this list and especially to wallace88 for getting me pointed
in the right direction.
Thanks again.

No only if there was a list of what all these Jukebox options were,
