SUMMARY: Moving tape between slots on a tz8x7 with the Robot?

I asked if the TZ8x7 series of autochanger was capable of moving tapes
between slots because I was getting this error message:
        trigger:root# robot move slot 3 slot 4
        MOVE Cartridge from Slot 3 into Slot 4 using ROBOT /dev/mc25b.
        MOVE failed on /dev/mc25b: Robot Illegal request. SENSE KEY: 5,
ASC: 24, ASCQ: 0

Thanks to alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com for his answer. The autochanger doesn't
support that function.

        Not all libraries support moving slot to slot. The TZ8x7
        and TZ8x5 are among those. That's what the error message
        is telling you; you tried something that the library can't
        do.
