A quick look at the mtx-changer script shows that these lines are probably causing you the trouble... they're inside the section for the "list" command: if test ${vxa_packetloader} -ne 0 ; then cat ${TMPFILE} | grep " *Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full" | sed "s/ Storage Element //" | sed "s/Full :VolumeTag=//" else cat ${TMPFILE} | grep " Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full" | awk "{print \$3 \$4}" | sed "s/Full *\(:VolumeTag=\)*//" fi Notice that the regex in the first part won't match your IMPORT/EXPORT slots. My hunch is that you'll need to modify those greps, and probably the awk/sed immediately afterward... Another thing to check is whether or not mtx-changer is getting the correct number of total slots available when it's asked for it -- if not you'll have to fix that behavior too, probably..
