Looks like you got an error trying to read the tape label from the tape your changer thinks came from slot 11. > > amcheck-server: fatal slot 11: Unloading Data Transfer Element into > Storage Element 11...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes Your changer also barfed trying to unload the tape to put back into slot 11. Since it was a fatal error it quit looking, so.. > ERROR: new tape not found in rack because it couldn't get the next tape (since the changer script died). Perhaps I missed it since I'm jumping in mid-thread, but are you using real tapes or vtapes (using the FILE driver)? If it is real tapes, check your changer to verify that there is a tape in the drive and your changer can move it properly (using mtx or whatever tools you have available) and check your system logs for more descriptive SCSI errors.
