Hi,

It means that probably there is problem with reading tape labels in 
slots 6 and 7. Are you sure that tapes in slots 6 and 7 have sticked 
correct labels?

Could you show us output from below commands?

mtx -f /dev/sgX status

(/dev/sgX is special file of changer device)

and from mtx-changer Bacula script:

mtx-changer /dev/sgX list

(/dev/sgX is special file of changer device).

Regards.
