Re: mtlib/tapeutil not able to access 3590's

I wonder if that might be the problem.  I'll get someone to try accessing the
drive as root, and adjust the permissions accordingly.

Here's one of my drives:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         54 Dec  7 12:02 /dev/rmt/6st -> 
../../devices/sbus@f,0/QLGC,isp@0,10000/IBMtape@0,0:st


crw-------   1 root     sys      158,3072 Dec 11 09:08 
/devices/sbus@f,0/QLGC,isp@0,10000/IBMtape@0,0:st



Thanks,
Mike
