OK, I ran 'amtape daily1 slot 10' which should move the active slot to 10
and show the tape loaded.

So it looks like the rewind worked...

========================================

I don't see anything wrong here.

OK, now I will run 'amlabel daily1 daily10 slot 10' and see if the rewind
works correctly and the tape is checked without any errors:

output from amlabel ===================
labeling tape in slot 10
(rait:{file:/backup1/daily10,file:/backup2/daily10,file:/backup3/daily10}):
rewinding, reading label daily10
rewinding, writing label daily10, checking label
amlabel: no label found, are you sure
rait:{file:/backup1/daily10,file:/backup2/daily10,file:/backup3/daily10} is
non-rewinding?
========================================

Now I'm sure its non-rewinding so I check the info files again after this.

/backup1/daily10/info:
        position 3
/backup2/daily10/info:
        position 3
/backup3/daily10/info:
        position 3

Should be position 0 if its rewound, I think.  Here are the debug outputs
after the amlabel...

=============================================
If there is a problem I sure don't see where it is.  It all looks like its
working but I think the tape is not getting rewound properly.  It all SEZ it
happens but I don't think it does.

OK, so I try it by hand.  I check the info file for daily10 on all backup
disks.  Position 3.  Then I run 'ammt -d -f file:/backup?/daily10 rewind'
checking the relevant file after each run.  And the ammt command rewinds the
tape (info file contents) back to "position 0".  

Is the script somehow skipping the command but not catching the error?
