[snip explanation]
Thanks for your explanation. I don't think the situation you describe
is the case though (but it could certainly have something to do with
it), but it did remind me that I forgot to mention something explicitly:
the library only thinks the mentioned slots are completely empty
after an initialization that ran due to a powerup or the opening/closing
of the entire front door. The weird thing is that when I perform a
library inventory using the front panel, *all* tapes are detected,
*including* the ones that the library didn't see just seconds earlier.
This is consistent behaviour: inventory triggered by powerup/front
door --> tapes invisible, inventory triggered manually --> all tapes
visible.
Weird.
