When I log in into the web interface I see 8 usable slots. This is  
where I told the changer that my former cleaning slot number 8 is no  
longer a cleaning slot. On the Status-page I see the two magazines  
with 4 tapes each. There is no cleaning slot defined, i.e. I set the  
cleaning slot to 0 which is what the manual suggests.

I did a firmware upgrade hoping that this will fix my problem. I  
encountered something strange as the following command (/dev/sg4 is  
the changer) gives two different outputs:

boromir ~/tdtool # mtx -f /dev/sg4 status
RequestSense (0x03) failed
mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes

       Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=WOC5-03L4
       Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=WOC1-01L4

The two commands were issued directly one after another because I  
worried about the first responses of the changer (RequestSense (0x03)  
failed ...).
