Thanks for your explanation. I don't think the situation you describe is the case though (but it could certainly have something to do with it), but it did remind me that I forgot to mention something explicitly: the library only thinks the mentioned slots are completely empty after an initialization that ran due to a powerup or the opening/closing of the entire front door. The weird thing is that when I perform a library inventory using the front panel, *all* tapes are detected, *including* the ones that the library didn't see just seconds earlier. This is consistent behaviour: inventory triggered by powerup/front door --> tapes invisible, inventory triggered manually --> all tapes visible. Weird. -- Jurjen Oskam
