Great!  Thanks, that has sorted it.  I guess the "update slots scan"
stuff was a waste of time and the simple "update slots" would have
updated the numbers once I'd changed mtx-changer.

I think it may be best to modify the mtx-changer script to return only
a 6 digit volume name instead assuming you do not need 8 digit labels.
