Absolutely.  I managed to get the drive in a ready state by manually
ejecting the media and manually running a cleaning job from the library
LCD.  Once this was complete, I powercycled the library and server one
last time.  I also changed the "eject" configuration setting in the
library from "Host" to "Both".  This time I was able to load and unload
a tape successfully.

I ran the following load command and it seemed to work but never
returned prompt.  Running "mtx status" in another window confirmed that
it moved successfully.  Not sure why mtx-changer hung like that, guess I
have my weekend plans.  ;)
