We run a STK 9710 with the HP/UX ADSM server.  My questions are:

What driver have you bound to the autochanger SCSI device?
If you are using HP-PB attachment, it should be spt.  If you attach via HSC, it
should be sctl, however, support for the sctl driver was not added until
3.1.1.3., so 3.1.1.1 would give you problems.
