I have an OLDER Exabyte 10h Library with a Exabyte 8505 drive in it.

The system works fine using the following:
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"  # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nst0"     # the no-rewind tape device to be used

Except that when it hits slot 10 (the cleaning tape, as specified in
changer.conf)
firstslot=1             #### 1st tape slot
lastslot=9             #### Last tape slot
cleanslot=10             #### Slot with cleaner tape

It locks up when the cleaning tape self-ejects.  I have to issue an "mtx
unload" and then "mtx load 1" to get it back to the first tape.

Anyone have any ideas what's wrong here?
