Sorry, here is a more complete log:

19-Jul 03:27 khyber-sd JobId 2235: End of medium on Volume "A0000003" 
Bytes=190,865,525,760 Blocks=2,958,604 at 19-Jul-2008 03:27.
19-Jul 03:29 khyber-sd JobId 2235: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 2, 
drive 0" 
command.
19-Jul 03:30 khyber-sd JobId 2235: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 6, drive 
0" 
command.
19-Jul 03:32 khyber-sd JobId 2235: 3305 Autochanger "load slot 6, drive 0",
status is OK.
19-Jul 03:32 khyber-sd JobId 2235: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" 
command.
19-Jul 03:32 khyber-sd JobId 2235: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0",
result is Slot 6.
19-Jul 03:32 khyber-sd JobId 2235: Error: block.c:995 Read error on fd=3 at 
file:blk 
0:0 on device "VXA3drive" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output error.
19-Jul 03:32 khyber-sd JobId 2235: Error: block.c:995 Read error on fd=3 at 
file:blk 
0:0 on device "VXA3drive" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output error.

And here is the mtx log at the same time:

20080719-03:29:25 Parms: /dev/sg3 unload 2 /dev/nst0 0
20080719-03:29:25 Doing libTool /dev/sg3 -m d1 s2
20080719-03:30:41 libTool unload returned 0
20080719-03:30:41 sleeping 5 sec after unload
20080719-03:30:46 Parms: /dev/sg3 load 6 /dev/nst0 0
20080719-03:30:46 Doing libTool /dev/sg3 -m s6 d1
20080719-03:31:12 libTool load returned 0
20080719-03:31:12   entered wait_for_drive
20080719-03:31:22 1 - mt status for /dev/nst0 returned  IM_REP_EN
20080719-03:31:32 2 - mt status for /dev/nst0 returned  IM_REP_EN
20080719-03:31:42 3 - mt status for /dev/nst0 returned  BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
20080719-03:31:42 Elapsed time from load to drive ready: 56
20080719-03:31:42 waiting 60 sec before returning
20080719-03:32:42 Parms: /dev/sg3 loaded 6 /dev/nst0 0
20080719-03:32:42 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg3 status -- to find what is loaded

So you see it did wait until ONLINE.  Then it waited an extra 60 sec for good 
measure 
before returning. total was 56 sec + 60 sec.
