Yeah :) however, the only problem (for us anyway) is that it puts the
tapes into *any* available (empty) slots, and we have a requirement for
keeping some slots reserved for out of library recoveries etc. We script
around "vmchange -i -rc1 <freeslotLocation> -m <volser>".

I'm still looking for the command to add new tapes via the CAP. I'd hoped
that vmadd with a "-i" would do, but I was forced to use vmadd to put in
the database, then vmchange to inject to some free slot.
