I've seen this when I had the wrong drive and the right element address.
 ADSM tells the robot to load the tape in one drive and then expects it to
be mounted in the other.  Verify that first.  You can use lbtest on the AIX
system to look at this.

This is only one possible problem.  You could also have a problem with the
drive.  Perhaps the tape isn't getting to the mountpoint.  Or the head is
dirty, or...

You might take a look in the docs for the robot and see if any of the error
codes show up.  This is how I learned of my swapped element/drive problem.
