I'm thinking it is becuase you don't have cleanslot and autocleancount
set to something. I just set mine to "cleanslot=0" and
"autocleancount=99" as I do not use the autoclean feature myself. All
the variable cleanslot is doing is asking where the tape "might" be located.
Since you're not using the autoclean, it will never ask for the cleaning
tape anyways.
It's been quite a bit since I updated that script, so I'm not 100% sure
of the above. Also, just to be sure, the MT MTF and MTX are not pulled
from that file. I'm assuming you have tem set in the actual chg-zd-mtx?
