Your test cases:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mt -f /dev/null status ; echo $?
mt: /dev/null: Inappropriate ioctl for device
2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mt -f /dev/null wrongcmd ; echo $?
mt: invalid argument `wrongcmd' for `tape operation'

-----------------------------------------------
Having it return 0 for cases when the tape is not in the drive causes the my
backup scripts to fail.
GNU mt version 2.4.2 is a version I know does not have this problem.
