There are 2 different mt programs. One is from cpio (i think), and the 
other is from the mt-st package.  I think you are having problems 
detecting which mt you have.

At the beginning of mtx-changer is a case function that sets the ready 
string for wait_for_drive.  The newer mtx-changer script correctly 
handles this.

I think you need to modify your mtx-changer to look like this (or use 
the current mtx-changer)

Linux)
  ready="ONLINE"
  if test -f /etc/debian_version ; then
    mt --version | grep "mt-st" > /dev/null 2>&1
    if test $? -eq 1; then
      ready="drive status"
