I don't know your hardware, but are you selecting "Empty media sccess
port prior to updating" in the inventory GUI?
If the Scalar 50 is like some other small scalar that I saw in a demo,
when you put tapes in the slid-out magazine, a little dialog comes up on
the control panel asking you to choose between X and Y. One of those is
"system," IIRC. And I think the one you want is the "pushbutton" on the
right side. Without doing that, tapes stay in the magazine.
