Tom - Note that the 4.1.3 server README file contains info on using LTO with
      TSM ($$1 Support for IBM LTO Ultrium (358x) devices).
Errno 46 is Device Not Ready.  Are you certain that the library and drive
are in a ready condition?
You said that you installed the device driver from the CD.  The 3583 Setup
manual recommends against this: you should follow the TSM recommendations
in the server README.  You would probably do well to compare your driver
level with that in the IBM FTP site, as yours may be too downlevel for
TSM 4.1.3.  I'd also recommend re-checking the element number.
