Thanks for the followup, but after finding the thread referenced below 
yesterday, I switch the SCSI HBA and library into another box (different 
motherboard) and it is humming along fine using the same config files.

Granted this box is running Fedora 8, not Fedora 11 as the previous box 
was, but I'll have a better idea if it is the hardware when I connect it 
to the production server which is also running Fedora 11.

Thanks all for the assistence - see Kern's comments here:
