Rob,
I think this is the issue. The tape drive ALWAYS puts the tape
cartridge back into the slot that it came out of. Try putting all four in
the magazine, and then moving the first one form the magazine into the
drive, using the Control Menu option. I think this will get around it for
you.

I wondered about that. Was kind of hoping that it would just shove it
somewhere. There are 24 slots or so.
I wonder if left them all in slots instead of any in a drive if it would
pick the first one and put it into the drive? A simple CHKTAP should be
sufficient.
I have three of them but they are all currently in use. Backup rack is
getting it's PM done because primary goes down for it's during first
weekend in February.
