Something else:

when I run "amadmin vtape tape" it tells me it looks for a tape on the 
non-attached usb disk. Or a new tape.

This explains why it accepts a relabeled tape (it's new then).

So something with the rotation and/or number of tapes seems wrong, right?

There are 15 slots on the currently attached disk.

"num_slot" = 14

When I reduce tapecycle to 14 tapes, the vtape is recognized OK!

I had tapecycle = 28 tapes before: 2 changers with 14 tapes each.

That has worked so far, I wonder why.

I adjust to 14 now and monitor the next runs.
