Just as a point of reference we are using this code to control a couple of big StorageTek tape libraries (9710 and 9730). It has worked flawlessly. It also supports reading the VOLID barcodes.
I would second the notion that it should go into the mainline sources if the author is interested. Very useful utility in big IT shops doing serious backup.
