Have a tape loader

slots 1-5 have labeled tapes, in a pool labelled PH0018L4 - PH0022L4,  media id=1-5
slots 6-22 have labeled tapes, in pool labelled PH0001L4-PH0017L4, media id=11-27
and the pool also has 5 labeled tapes out of unit PH0023L4-PH0027L4,  media id=6-10

All are labelled, in pool, etc

List volumes sees the tapes, correct media id, status of append for empty and full for alreay written tapes, etc

Starts a full backup, gets to PH0022L4 using autoload, working fine, tape PH0022L4 fills
up, so now tapes 18-22 are full, instead of next going to slot 6 PH0001L4, it insists on trying
to mount PH0023L4, and tells me it cannot because it is not in unit (Slot=0) and asks for a tape mount.  Message in log keeps saying 'xxxxx.c, line xxx, cannot continue, "No medium found"

So question is why is it insisting on going to a tape not in the unit, when there are plenty of others empty, marked status append?

To finish the backup required me to use 'mtx load' to manually load tapes 1-n, then going into bconsole and entering 'update slots', then 'mount' and it would write a tape andf then manually ask for another until the job completed.
