Hmm -- I can't find anything in those logfiles that would indicate why
the device is failing.  The problem is really very specific, and does
not involve changers, but rather the RAIT, VFS, and Tape device
drivers.

IIRC you built from source.  If I send a patch that adds additional
debugging information, could you try it?
