I have a 24 slot autochanger, SUN/HP with barcodes

I had tapes 18-37 in slots 1-22, slot 24 is unused (it is an inslot/mailslot),  
and slot 23 is a cleaner

I labeled 18-37, wrote labels, put in tape pool, etc

I moved 18-22 to slot 18-22 and then loaded slots 1 to 17 with tapes 1-17, used 
add to add TAPES 1-17 using barcode. That was my mistake, I should have used 
label for 1-12

so, it is like this:
slots           tapeid  status
1-17            1-17            in catalog, using add, NOT in pool
18-22           18-22           in catalog, using label cmd, labels written, in 
tape pool
23                              cleaner
24                              mail/crop slot, empty
none            23-40           not in a slot, in catalog, using label cmd, 
labels written, in tape pool

So, started job, it grabbed tape 18, slot 18 and started writing, I was 
wondering why it started at 18, but it continued and then used 19,20,21,22 - 
all fine

It then went to mount request for tape 23, not in unit, which is expected due 
to 23-40 being labeled and in catalog

At this point, I realized 1-17 were not in pool, so added them to pool, labels 
written etc.
Typed mount, expecting it to automatically grab tape 1.  It just sat.

To make it work required me to use mtx to load tape 1, from slot 1, go back 
into bconsole, type 'update slots', then 'mount' and it worked

Problem is, each tape finishes, it requests tape 23, not in unit and I have to 
do the mtx, bconsole update slots and mount for each tape.

I would have thought the 'update slots' would put it back to automatic modes, 
since it should see 1-17 are now in the pool.
