Kern: This is exactly the problem I posted last week and I am running 1.38.11

I know why it's occuring - people are running update slots against a 
particular tape drive instead of the autochanger

And I know why they do that - running update slots against the changer 
only ever unloads drive 0, no matter which drive is actually specified.


I know you don't regard it as a bug that when run this way, all the tapes 
in the changer end up associated with an individual drive, but I do.

Additionally it's definitely a bug that update slots ignores any drive 
specfication.

IE:

*update slots
The defined Storage resources are:
      1: File
      2: MSL6000-changer
      3: MSL6000-0
      4: MSL6000-1
      5: DVD
Select Storage resource (1-5): 2
Enter autochanger drive[0]: 1
