Doesn't work either... :(
I've been doing some debugging following the chg-zd-mtx script line by
line, and I found that it gets crazy when looking into the
changer-barcode file. This file only contains the label for the first
tape. I really don't know what should be in this file (this changer has
barcode reader support), the script is looking for a labelname and a
second word (with an awk parsing), and as there's no second word one of
the variables is empty and gives me an error. I guess I should have a
list of all my labels and a barcode code for each label, but I don't
know how to generate that or if I have to do it manually.

This is what I have in the changer.debug.drive0 file:
(I've been doing some testings, don't know if will help)

Thanks for your time, I appreciate.
