Per Kern's request I've been trying to get the regress scripts set up to find 
a bug in multi-drive usage.  In a 4 tape autochanger library only one tape is 
being used.  Up to and including the 9/9/2006 beta multiple drives were being 
used for archives in different Pools  That seems have been lost in recent 
versions, with no configuration changes.  This is a status report on 
diagnosing the multi-drive problem.

Kern, you mention in your README that running on a production system will 
overwrite the database, unless a different engine is used.  I've set up with 
sqlite to avoid conflict with the mysql production system.  What you didn't 
note is that the regression tests will overwrite tapes loaded in an 
autochanger!  I saw what it was doing and stopped the test in time.  You 
might want to add a warning about running regress on an autochanger with live 
archive tapes; it will use what is there without asking which ones to use.  I 
now have a test system running with some scratch tapes.

After a couple of hours I have the regress scripts built against sqlite and 
they are trying to run.  The default test tape scripts are hard coded in many 
different places to run against a single drive 'DDS-4' device setup.  I am 
modifying the various scripts and configurations to put in my 4 drive library 
configuration.  That is slow sledding but is starting to come together.  When 
I have something that looks like like the bug I am seeing I will turn in a 
bug report.
