What happened is that the upgrade to 1.38 overwrote my modified mtx-changer script with the default, so you are correct, that was the problem. Still leaves the strange error message though.

The error you are seeing is because there is a problem with your mtx-changer script. The error the previous person was seeing was because of a misconfiguration (due to incorrect documentation). > > Rob > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern Sibbald > Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 9:20 AM > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Cc: Volker Dierks > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula BETA 1.38.3 > > On Monday 12 December 2005 12:52, Volker Dierks wrote: > > Hello, > > > > Volker Dierks wrote: > > >> Usually, I'd see if the problem can be reproduced with the existing > > >> system setup.
