Try a manual load command, then the status again:
mtx -f /dev/rmt/0n load 1 # check output
Also, look for links such as /dev/st0, /dev/nst0, and test them in the
appropriate place in mtx commands. I don't recognize the output line:
Storage Changer /dev/rmt/0n:1 Drives, 6 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
The test, when finding Data Transfer Element empty, should load a tape,
so that the script can proceed to check the label.
Is it possible that the device (/dev/rmt/0n) you're using as changer is
not the changer controller?
