Humm, I apparently never did that, Kevin.  All I have is the .examples 
file.

Silly Q?  Could this be the reason I've blamed amanda for not being 
able to rewind the tape in a Seagate 4586N changer?  And while amanda 
couldn't rewind it, mt could?

Humm, on inspecting that file, I find its quite jurassic, offering no 
clues for anything newer than whats obviously decade+ old DDS1 
drives.  And no mention of rewind capabilities for any drive IIRC.
So I doubt its connected with my non-rewinding chg-scsi script useage.
