I have a Dell PowerVault 124T (LTO3) autochanger that I'm having trouble
connecting to Bacula. I've worked half-way through the default scripts for
installation, and now I want to do the btape tests, but I'm running into
errors on both the changer and the tape drive itself. I'm running Bacula
2.0.3 on SlackWare 10 with Linux kernel 2.6.9. I'm logged-in as root, and I
still have this trouble when I try to test my tape drive.... Now that I have
corrected some device names in my bacula-sd.conf file, I'm able to pass all
the tape read/write/position tests, but I still have this trouble when I get
to the autochanger section:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bacula/bin# ./btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/st0

You must correct this error or the Autochanger will not work.
I know the third line from the bottom would be the wrong syntax for mtx
itself (too many parameters, missing "-f" and "loaded" should be "load"),
but it might be correct for bacula's mtx-changer utility for all I know.
Here is my bacula-sd.conf file (with passwords obscured and commented-out
sections removed):
